You can actually install GeForce drivers on a Quadro workstation card. Supposedly the hardware is all there, just the different drivers act differently, and the GeForce drivers are more gaming-optimized.

Aye but in fairness it's a G86M core (according to Wikipedia of course) which makes it comparable to a mobile version of the 8300/8400.

That's interesting. I wonder though, GeForce drivers are specific to each card, not just series (well, anything above the 7 series, I think) so I'm just wondering what drivers you'd have to install on a GeForce to get it to go Quadro and visa versa. Would it be as simple as comparing hardware specs, or what?

On the subject of crap computers: While my desktop is no longer my gaming rig, its specs are:

CPU: Intel Core 2 Extreme QX9650
RAM: 4GB OCZ ReaperX
GPU: nVidia GeForce 6600 GT

Oh yeah.

In all fairness, I doubt you'd spend $1000+ on a card, and install a separate set of drivers on it to make it act like a $120 card. And as far as I'm aware, Quadro drivers aren't that much worse than Geforce drivers at gaming.

Well if that's the case, I'm not even gonna bother. I use the thing for movies, and notes in class, so gaming isn't a very pressing issue on it. Most intensive game I play on it now is Demigod, and with the graphics turned down it runs just fine.
