quadro fx500 i overclock and play nfsu2 with full graphic detail with no lag

my rig spec

agp2x
fx500
p3 1ghh
384mb ram

does it have many difference with normal GC when doing 3D application works???Especially when doing rendering..with hign quality rendering..

Sorry, can add a "Mobility" in front? Since mine's the laptop version and there is another PCI-E version of V3200. Thanks.

Bullet have share the info on #12 and #13 , do u mean that?

FireGL series is classified as workstation graphic card mah, so still counted

As for why workstation GC are more expensive, my thinking is
1) The drivers need to be specially written and tested to be working with most of the certified graphics software, therefore higher cost of development
2) I think these cards go thru more thorough tests in the factory (as compared to normal mass produced graphic cards) to confirm functions ok, so higher costs of operation?

And why most pple say they are not good for games (although they can be used for gaming) is becos the drivers are optimised to render accurately, while gaming card drivers are optimised to render as fast as possible. Therefore, doesn't mean that workstation cards are better for games.

hm..tried to soft mod my 6600GT to quadro like what Zinx had done..but how can i determined that i already soft modd it to quadro??How can i check??If i applied it to my 6600Gt will it be any effect to my GC??

U try to use the software like everest to check it.
See is it recognise as quadro alrd?


if can, pls share with us ya
i think i want to find 2nd hand 6600GT or 6800 alrd.

But i didnt have 6600GT or 6800 , i also want to try and see
welcome ya verz84

o1..
So, dj.eRicZzz, didnt you use any software to test it?
how the performance?

Hm..no lag..full detail??wow..must be so powerful..i played carbon with medium detail also sometime lag..

Added on March 29, 2007, 6:54 pmhehe..im also doing lots of rendering..pc always hang althrough im using quite decent GC like my 6600GT..dats y im very interested in this Quadro..not a hardcore gamers also..but...waaa...so...eeexxxpppeeennnsive!!!

hi, if i've a choice between quadro fx 1500 and fx 3400. by looking at it, the fx 3400 is classed at higher range, and more expensive. but by looking at the performance info, fx 1500 is actually faster and better because it is built with newer hardware and fx 3400 is a much more older product than it. so, is this true or is fx 3400 worth the money? I'm quite confused actually. even the fx 3450 is slower or on par with FX 1500 by looking the at benchmark info?? so, which one is worth buying actually. i'm really confused here, but i really need a quadro for my cad and 3d modeling.

actually i am searching the software to test the QUadro performance, but i havent get it yet.

how much FX3400 and FX1500 ?
Much different?

FX3400 is RM2500, FX1500 is RM1800 inclusive shipping, this is the cheapest I found from US order, I don't want to quote Low Yat pricing as those are just insanely overpriced, I'm not sure what on earth is wrong with workstation market in Malaysia???

but by reading the benchmark and hardware info, the FX1500 just seems performing even better than the fx3400 and FX3450, I'm just very curious there must be a reason why FX3400 and FX3450 are classed as higher end range and are priced higher, I just cound't find the answer myself.

Added on March 30, 2007, 4:20 pmanyhow, I'm getting the FX 3400 as for RM1600, it is really well worth buying it, and it is within my budget.

aiya, you sell it so cheap ya.
If i know, i sure will buy for you .

I almost bought the fx3400 for rm1600, but I'm goin for the fx1500 as i've been struggling to search for info whether it is stil worth buying an old fx3400 even though it is classed as high end range over the medium range fx1500. there are scarce info to compare in the web, but still, through many readings and searching, i don't think fx3400 will perform better than the fx1500. unless for the newer fx3450. so, i'm goin for a fx 1500!

i dont have the 6pin power onnector..so i duno it works if fix or no..but i tested it and works without the 6pin..but insufficient power

so if buyer buy n fix 6pin power cannot use..his nasib la..but if can use oso his nasib
