GeForce + Quadro

[WinterXL]

Hi guys... I was looking to put together a system for both gaming and content creation. Has anyone heard of any issues with running a GeForce and a Quadro card on the same system?

Cheers

u can soft mod a GeForce 8800 to work as a Quadro

but chances are, u won't get the same increase in performance as a real Quadro,
haven't tried it myself though

but if u have the money to buy both cards, there should be no problem if u use both cards at the same time

Just installing the drivers for Quadros does not do anything. This softmod hasn't worked since the 6800AGP. If anything, it makes your card perform worse.

well if u install the Quadro drivers, it would definitively cripple the performance in games.
that's a shame, we need a oldskewl hardcore GeForce to Quadro modding, like the one with the GeForce 1, with soldering and all that stuff
