The main difference between the drivers is that the Quadro drivers MUST finish drawing all the tasks presented to it, whereas the GeForce drivers can only half-draw objects if needed to keep framerate up, like if an object is sticking out of a wall.  On a Quadro, the whole thing would have to be drawn, causing framerate to suffer, as CAD usually allows the user to see every part, unlike a game.  You can actually save your $600 and just hack the drivers so you are turn your 8600 into an equivalent Quadro card.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Striker]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Jul 29th 2008 9:26PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Alienware slaps NVIDIA's Quadro FX 3600M into Area-51 m15x]]></title><link>http://www.engadget.com/2008/07/29/alienware-slaps-nvidias-quadro-fx-3600m-into-area-51-m15x/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadget.com/2008/07/29/alienware-slaps-nvidias-quadro-fx-3600m-into-area-51-m15x/</guid><description><![CDATA[Quadro supposedly has 10% decrease in framerates in games but 50% increase of OpenGL performance.

I don't know how the GeForce equivalent would perform, but the video on this machine is freaking incredible.  It blows away the dual 7800 GTs in my desktop - there is no comparison.<br><br>Of course, it should, considering the $700 *upgrade* was as much as I paid for both of those cards :P  But I really wanted 512 megs of dedicated video ram, and the only way I could get it was to go with the 3600M.
