ha! i just tested my lab pc....
dual Xeon P4 2.8GHz, 2GB Ram, 140GB RAID harddisk....Plus Quadro FX500 graphic card!!!!
no need to explain how good it the system performance, rite?
ok. now i talk about the graphic card, Quadro FX500 128MB, which costs around $500 US dollars...core/Ram is 270/486Mhz...
3Dmark 2001 SE: 8800
3Dmark 2003 with patch 330 : 1490
hahah,,,generally even worse than my ATI Radeon 9500 128MB...hohoho!
conclusion: even though this is the very professional series card, but perhaps is not so suitable for gaming anyway, as i found that it is very bad when testing texture and shaders...and also pixel pipes also too few...
thus, even though this card is using the same design board as Geforce FX5600, but, but, it is truely not dedicated or suitable for gaming..especially after thinking of its "high" price, which is same as Radeon 9800 pro...
final word: for those guys willing to softmount their cards to Quadro ones,,pls consider it a bit! Quadro is only for professional Video, graphic editing works,perhaps...at least from my test, i feel so! of course, perhaps Quadro FX900 is farking good,,but heheh, expect those special institutes, where else have it? anyway, in one shot: nowadays, there is no single card that is great for all aspects, even Quadro, instead, we only can say, some cards r good at certain aspects only...
no one card will win all!
