NVIDIA's GPU selection has been a real tease. I want high performance gaming, but I also want high performance in Adobe CS products and Maya. I was told to choose between the Quadro and GeForce series, and I can not get both in one tower, according to a rep.

I certainly do not want to build another system for both purposes! I had high hopes for a driver hack that was once mentioned, but NVIDIA addressed that a while back.

Is there any compromise I can make between high-end gaming and high-performance in creative apps? The savings would be huge for me.

I think Quadro is not so much about more performance, but just about having 10 bits output per channel, rather than 8 bits.

I'm definitely not the one to ask, but I think the Quadro also did more operations on the card itself, while the GeForce was more focused on high frame rates.

If you know of a card that can contribute well to both worlds, I'd love to know about it! [smile]
