armycouncil Posted September 10, 2009 Share Posted September 10, 2009 Hi All, I am buying a Laptop for a keen gamer. This laptop is to double as a workstation. Will the "NVIDIA Quadro FX 1700" perform reasonably well for gaming? :confused: 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Echo Posted September 10, 2009 Share Posted September 10, 2009 CAD cards are the same as "regular" off the shelf cards. Literaly, the hardware is the same. The difference being, their drivers are optimized for comercial CAD software, and nothing else. You will probably have alot of problems getting games to run on one of these cards. (and they cost more too.). 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
armycouncil Posted September 11, 2009 Author Share Posted September 11, 2009 really appreciate it I don't want to make an expensive mistake so I'm gonna get the XPS16 with the 1GB ATI Radeon HD 4670 rather than the M4400 with the Quadro FX1700. Cheers 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Other Means Posted September 11, 2009 Share Posted September 11, 2009 really appreciate it I don't want to make an expensive mistake so I'm gonna get the XPS16 with the 1GB ATI Radeon HD 4670 rather than the M4400 with the Quadro FX1700. Cheers CM:SF won't run properly on that video card. At least not with the latest drivers. I had a ATI Radeon HD 4800 Series that wouldn't run it at all, due to being too new to run 9.3 drivers - which were the last set that weren't phuqued. I've just got an nVideo GTX 260 for the same price. More stable and not nearly as noisy. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
