Quadro or GeForce?
I've been messing around with Maya for a few weeks now and I'm loving it - I'm really quite hooked and ready to further my hobby with some new hardware. Specifically, something to replace the humble GeForce MX440 I have in my machine right now.
My question is: just how much difference is there, in terms of Maya performance, between a higher-end Geforce 6800 and a lower-end Quadro? Is Geforce (lack of) compatibility a significant problem?
I'm only an intermittent gamer, but the idea of having a card that is *also* a beefy gaming device is really quite tempting. The question is: just how much would I be giving up in the 3d department if I go a GeForce?
Many thanks in advance,
- JB

I think you really need to decide what the primary use is going to be. Are you graphics person who plays games or are you a gamer how does graphics? That should be your driving factor.

Maybe for commercial purposes -- but I'm a hobbyist... and a cheap one at that :b Aparently for my specific card -- the difference is 1 pair of pins being soddered in a GeForce, and the two beside it soddered in a Quadro. Break the sodder of #1/2 and Sodder #3/4 -- swap the BIOSes -- reload the drivers.
