Hi recently i get to know that we can softmod our GC to quadro. but google it still dun understand hope some one can help

http://www.techarp.com/showarticle.aspx?artno=539

study before but not quite understand can anyone explain or make more simple for me thanks

i dun see any difficulties with that.

I think you should forget about softmodding your 9800GT.

1. The article is a very easy version to follow
2. Your 9800GT is likely to be G92 chip which has no NVstrap shown on Rivatuner anymore. Any possibility to mod the 9800GT will require BIOS flashing. Referring to #1, if you find the article difficult already, you're facing even more trouble on 9800GT.

i did try to follow the step but could not find the "Low-level system tweaks" on rivatuner
can anyone tell me which i had miss plss

Top Customize button. First button.

If you don't see NVstrap tab, it is normal. Anything newer than G80 card is likely not to have that option anymore.

so u had mention flash bios so any idea how can i do that???

You can change Device ID using Nibitor to the Quadro ID which shares similar hardware with 9800GT. For instance, you can try Quadro FX 3700.

Then flash the modified firmware onto the GPU using NVflash.

No one has specifically mentioned that it would work 100%, but it's just something that you can try.

Can anyone tell what TS can rip benefit by being success in softmod to quadro?from ur experience...

No hardware performance gain.

Only capability to use Quadro drivers which has optimization for 3D rendering software.

Likely to have no effect in games etc.

thread moved to appropriate section

I've tried softmodding my GeForce 8600M GT to Quadro using Rivatuner. It works 100%. The NVStrap driver tab is there. So G80 does work.

Yea. Older GPU like GeForce 9000 or lower can be soft modded into Quadro.

But, note that there's no performance gain or anything.

It doesn't help in RENDERING also. Because rendering is Processor's job.
It doesn't speed up any software also. It only allow you to use or utilize some software that only supported by Quadro.

this is wat i need but just one question G80 got CUDA support or not???

Since 8000 series, CUDA is embedded already.

Do you really happen to use these software?

Quadro does not improve CUDA. Tesla cards, not Quadro, is optimized for CUDA.

i use 3d MAX and CAD
also REVIT

another other option i can get ???
other then my 9800gt
budget >1000

+1. This is true.
Nvidia Quadro GPU are only for better viewport display in 3D software as well as faster simulation only.
I am using Maya.

I have made BIOS mod on my own Palit 9800GT. I extracted the original ROM, then edited using Nibitor to reflect Quadro FX3700 product ID and flash using NVflash.

Flashing was successful. When the ROM was extracted from the modified GPU EEPROM, it does have the product ID of Quadro FX3700.

BUT. These later generation of Nvidia cards have bootstraps to 'remember' a copy of the factory product ID. GPU-Z and Rivatuner can still identify the card as 9800GT.

Unless someone can help me overwrite the bootstrap, 9800GT doesn't seem to be able to be softmodded to Quadro.

End of story.

im not sure other brand can use anot...for galaxy brand the extreme tuner have a function let you flash bios on windows...so it will be more easier for newbie. but the problem its...duno wether it will work on other brand anot

I use nvflash. Works for all nvidia card. They do have one variant that can flash in Windows. As long as you can use command prompt, nvflash is the great choice.

wow. look at the improvement at solidworks.. just by soft-modding.
