Hello.

As you can see i am new to this forum.

My main reson for signing up was to find out if any of you would know how the Geforce cards match

up against the Quadro's in solid edge.

Here is why i ask.

In my company all the drawing offices are using the quadro cards. they have the FX 3700's and the

FX 2000's

I on the other hand have the GeForce GTX560ti overclocked card but am not seeing the resaults I was

sure i would see im pretty sure that its the pc itself though cause i cannot see how this card would lag on

a simple model that my laptop didnt have trouble running.

PC specs. Intel Q6600 quad core. 4gb DDR2 800MHz, GTX560, 585w psu etc etc...

if anyone has any insite to why i would be lagging could you please let me know :) thanks.

The Quaddro cards are optimised for OpenGl operations where GForce is optimised for DirectX. normally you will find quaddro cards to have much less memory than gforce cards. thats because gforce cards are designed for gaming where the card needs to process huge texture maps. not needed for CAD. instead high throughput, in other words speed is important.

You wont only notice a speed inhancement with a Quaddro card. If you have a good high def display, The card will render crisper, cleaner displays

I believe Solid Edge has now been optimised to also use DirectX, but in the past most CAD systems were only opengl. Agforce card is opengl compatible but will rely more on your cpu to process results, slowing down the entire system.
