Nvidia Quadro & Geforce in sam

clydemit · 发表于 2022-7-8 22:01:39

My work computer has a Quadro FX 4800 and dual monitors, i want to add 2 additional monitors.

I was wondering the pros and cons of putting a Geforce along side the Quadro.

Geforce is cheaper then Quadro and all I need it for is the extra monitors.

I run Solidworks, Autocad, and RasterCAD, but Solidworks is the program I am worried about as it requires the most strain on the computer and I don't want to limit it by adding the Geforce card to the computer.

Any help would be appreciated

Just because both cards are made by nVidia doesn't mean they will co-exist peacefully.

Did you say that you had another PCIe slot to use? If not I would not expect much from a PCI based card.

The days of multiple video cards coexisting in a single computer being problematic have definitely came a long way. I built a computer a few years back that had three video cards. A Quadro NVS (supported four displays), and two entry level fanless GeForce cards. He ran 7 displays without a problem (stock trader, his $15k program required four monitors as a minimum requirement). Granted, he wasn't trying to leverage these video cards for the brutal use of CAD design. I do wonder, however, how CAD applications will detect which card it needs. I wonder if it's manual or automatic. *shrugs*

Put a second different card in the computer then report back here with the results. We're all curious. Then we'll have our answer either way. Good luck.

With Windows 7 should be little to no problem. Many, on some of the computer hardware and gaming boards, recommend using the same series, some have reported conflicts with drivers on different series of same manufacturer, many have reported BETTER results with mixed Nvidia/ATI/Matrox, etc. (no driver interference).

Seems in my readings, for Windows 7, "they play well together" is FAR more common than the "they don't get along", but I would test one before odering them all.
