1700 $ physics card

post #1 of 20
Thread Starter 
So... as the title suggest we all like a wee bit extreme things here, while im tryin to sell my Quadro 5000, it had 3 gigs or ram on it, and is a pro-e or auto cad makers dream to have... Though i have zero use for it... i got it with a PC someone gave me before they moved away as a gift, and it has less then 50 hours of uptime on the card... though it has no warranty and its hard to sell a 1.7 k graphics card on c-list....

So then it hit me, and first let me tell you my set up my sig is not entirely correct now

six core zeon processor 3.67
24 gigs of ddr3
3.7 tb of space.
****HD 4870**** lolololol biggrin.gif

So as you can tell.... i have a wee bit of a bottleneck going on... and if i use the quadro 5000 as a physics card thumb.gif .... would that help, make things run better, even possible ?!?!?

EDIT** - for the people who dont know a quadro is a pro grade card, it does not run off of opengl it runs off of triangulation... so thats why i dont just run the card vs my hd4870 tongue.gif

Are you saying you would want to use the Quadro 5000 as a PhysX card while the 4870 remains as the main GPU....?

Not sure if its possible but if so I doubt anything will run much better. Quadro GPU's were not built for those kind of things.

why not install geforce drivers and use the card for gaming. The Quadro 5000 has GTX465/470 like hardware, so if you install geforce driver instead of the Quadro you it will make a much better gaming card then that 4870.

My Old Thinkpad T61p has the Quadro FX 570M, what is nothing more then a 8600m GT with GDDR3 memory. I installed Geforce Drivers and overclocked the Chip to 8700M GT speeds and been working at that speed since then.

this would be intresting but i dont know what drivers i would use for my 5000... and the risk of doing something to it when im trying to sell it would be horrifying mad.gif it would be worse then a B rated horror movie!
