the quadro is mainly for rendering and animation stuff
the geforce is a general card so it is very good for most functions but wont be as good as quadro in rendering, and its more optimized for gaming purposes. -
01 Aug 2008he's right, if you're gonna be doing vfx, stick with the quadro line. gforce cards always have little problems here and there and it's not worth the switch. If you want a gaming pc also, build a seperate one hah.

02 Aug 2008Here's what i've gathered so far, And it's already been stated that vfx is better with a quadro card. This is absolutely true, and it's true because of the software running that highend card, it's being developed by people who have experience developing for VFX facilities, writing drivers for those cards to do what they need to do at VFX facilities, and it's not boosting framerates so you can frag your coworkers more efficiently. And while gamer cards are boosting performance like never before and allowing you to shift from spinning a ton of stuff around in openGL, they are being developed on the software end with an entirely different purpose in mind. Now we are starting to see shifting from the games side to the vfx side, and i'm interested to see which way it goes, with the new developments from Nvidia, but yeah man, if you're doing vfx and have access to a good quadro card, stick with that. You're going to have better support for your 3d apps with it. If you want to play games, an 8800 should be fine.

02 Aug 2008mahmoudnahmad, modestmodeler and zachm I am 100% agree with you guys, I do not know why my IT department have changed my quadro to Gforce, although i had no issue while using quadro, and now Gforce crashing a lot while using same heavy motion graphics projects those were running smoothing at Quadro. But now I am gonna fight and ask to my IT head that install back quadro again in my system else work will not be finish on their top dates.
Thank you guys, if any body know about the way to enhance more performance while using quadro fx 4400 then kindly lemme know.
cheers -
