Thread: 8500 GT is bad?

You're wrong, maybe it was in antiquity, for example with the Geforce MX 440 or 4600TI could be a quadro and be perfectly equal, but today is something completely different, but the same chips mounted, there are features the quadro that can not be enabled by software and hardware not even in the new cards Quadro FX3700 original. In fact I checked myself with SPECviewperf10 and bios of the 8800GT with a Quadro FX3700 and AQUAMAC while increasing performance considerably by the actions of the drivers, only some applications will accelerate and the acceleration were not close to achieving the performance of a Quadro FX3700 original and made right.

I still do not understand the quadro cards are only for professional use workers? if so, by the you have 64 bits and more than 256 mb DDR2, when for the same silver is a shopping GDDR3, 256 bit pa up over and over till then 1gb of memory I do not understand: S if I could clarify the question.

Games will change history. These tests are development, not 3dmark or games.

The Quadro are specifically for those working with CAD tools, in terms of performance difference the thing is that Quadro and Geforce drivers used different in the case of lead optimization for Quadro professional OpenGL applications, while Geforce lead optimization for the Games, DirectX, so even if they have a very similar hardware (not identical), behave quite differently.
