nVIDIA Quadro vs. Others

[tchang]

I have few questions,

1.how do you compare Quadro and other video cards like fx serious or Ti or ATI?

2.Basicly, I have a Ti 4600 for my shuttle, and I am wondering is Quadro cards be able to play games as well as others or its far worse?

3.I know some people use Quadros for special app. like CAD, and I like the small size on some of the mid lvl Quadro cards, so I am just wondering if I get one, how fast can it be if I want to play some games like Warcraft 3, counter strike or other games.

Thousands of Thanks are always in advance and Thank you for replying

If you are not truly interested in professional 3D applications, then a Quadro holds absolutely no benefit for you. Save your money. The Quadro chipset generally performs within a 5% theshold of its comparative desktop chipset sibling when referencing games.

Actually, several of us work in reverse. We buy cheap GeForce gaming cards and hack them (move a resistor or crack the drivers) to support advanced Quadro operations like hardware line anti-aliasing.

Thanks RobRich, really glad that you take time answer my question and that really helps me alot to understand the Quadro cards, well...maybe I just know a bit but I am learning from people like you and now I know that card isn't for me My point is just that I wish to have a small card that is powerful so I can have more space in my computer And I hope more people can give me more infos on this so I can understand more and thanks again RobRich.
