DEY Posted January 22, 2006 Share Posted January 22, 2006 The QUADRO name is a product line of video chipsets made by NVIDIA. For the most part this technology is directed at the high end professional market, such as CAD, DCC, and the science-medical area, etc. http://www.nvidia.com/page/quadrofx_family.html When 3DFX went belly-up several years ago, they sold most of their technology patents and intellectual property to nVIDIA. It's no doubt that 3dfx technology has played a small part in all of nvidia video chipsets over the last several years. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DEY Posted January 22, 2006 Share Posted January 22, 2006 Here is ATI's equivalent to the nVidia quadro line. http://www.atitech.com/products/workstation.html Good ole Matrox is still around but only makes specialized products now, what a shame. http://www.matrox.com/mga/workstation/3dws/products/home.cfm 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Redwolf Posted January 22, 2006 Share Posted January 22, 2006 This is pointless. The only difference between the gaming and the professional lines of NVidia and ATI cards is that the professional cards can run without any of the "invisible" optimizations that the gaming cards do. Many of the visual differences can be brought to the gaming cards by advanced settings in the drivers, using the Linux drivers or by flashing the cards. There are hardware difference such as quad-head and multiple dual-link DVI out slots that are mostly irrelevant for a gaming environment. NVidia already announced to cancel the Quadro line as professionals use the gaming cards. In a word: almost all of it is marketing. The actual GPU chips on these cards are the same. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TufenHuden Posted January 22, 2006 Author Share Posted January 22, 2006 Well just wanted to know if these cards had more then the gamming cards.... Kinda lame to pay that much for a card with no extra stuff-what a rip then.... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
