One of the bosses brought back this Quadro from when he was in Dubai for a while. Does anyone know if these give any advantage in Max vs my current 8800GT? I couldn't find any benchmarks..

Quadro FX3400 vs 8800GT?

from my experience the 8800 series is somewhat equivalent to the 1700 series quadros.. and my 1700 was a ton faster than my 3500.. soooo in a roundabout way to not really answer the question, probably not
quadros: first number = clock/speed within that generation, second number = generation, generation makes a muuuch larger difference then the speedDave Buchhofer. // Vsaiwrk

in short, no not yet.. there have been strides taken in using gpu's for general purpose computing, but you probably wont see much of it for a while yet.Dave Buchhofer. // Vsaiwrk

Yeah i'm under the impression Quadro's are becoming less and less advantageous. The odd program that still uses OpenGL out there may benefit, but in general Autodesk has moved towards DirectX - even with programs like Autocad and Revit (both of which use DX in their 2010 releases).

OpenGL
If I'm not mistaken I seem to recall that Houdini still very successfully uses OpenGL exclusively. (they don't use DirectX) Anybody care to confirm?
Also I prefer OpenGL. Gave me many more miles in the past than DirectX. On my 4 year old laptop max 2010 works better with OpenGL (directx doesn't show textures in the viewport for some reason) Hey the laptop is single core with 1GB Ram. Comes in handy sometimes.Last edited by Morne; 11-07-2009, 01:28 PM.Kind Regards,

hm. i might be off there but my impression would be that Max is the exception there rather then the others. Maya, XSI, Houdini, C4D and well just about every app that is not windows only. Hence i find it a tad sad that Max is standing aside :/
