It is not limited to Maya, since even 3DSMax behaves the same.
NVIDIA FX 3500 QUADRO DRIVER
The wireframe slowdown thing with SMP systems (multi CPU or multi core) is an old driver bug that I have noticed since I bought my first NVIDIA TNT for my dual CPU Pentium system long time ago.
NVIDIA FX 3500 QUADRO FREE
Of course, I would be more than glad if someone actually proves me wrong, so feel free to mail your BIOS to this aqua-mac guy and report the results - just remember to use SpecViewPerf and SpecAPC tests, since 3DMark is useless for testing Quadros So, you would either have to get an uncut GPU (engineering sample) or manufacture a new one yourself and even if you succeed in doing it, I wish you lots of good luck on removing the existing GPU from the PCB, since it's surface mounted and the PCB is multi-layered. In order to remove the difference, you will probably have to manufacture the whole GPU yourself since you probably cannot repair a microscopic cut on a silicon waffer, now, could you?
We just have to admit that NVIDIA finally "found" a way to lock the GPU completely in hardware (they design the damn thing, it would actually be strange if they didn't ) and by using that "trick" they are actually producing a different GPU, even though the only difference is some laser cutting on the die before it's packaged. If anyone actually succeeded we would have known by now, since there are a lot of smart people that understand how the cards actually work on hardware level.
NVIDIA FX 3500 QUADRO MODS
There are a lot of phony mods floating around since a lot of people seem to be satisfied with renaming the card for bragging purposes only (they don't actually use or need the professional capabilities of a Quadro - they only need a name change to show off their "pro card" to unsuspecting bystanders ). No matter what someone says about how successful they were in GeForce 7xxx -> Quadro modding, I wouldn't trust them. Also, RivaTuner doesn't enable/unlock the "Professional" Tab in OpenGL settings. It's still sporadically slow, and I'm sure it's some driver issue. I guess it's a driver issue.Īnyway, after modding to Quadro wireframe seems faster, but not on scenes with 10x the amount of wireframe. Wireframe screams when I limit Maya to running only on CPU 0. But I found out that setting Maya CPU affinity to CPU 0 only will fix the problem in a matter of seconds. First, I did it for a moderate wireframe scene - it was very slow. The ultimate question: is there a way to test if the any quadro capabilities have in fact been unlocked, or is it just Quadro driver running with all the limitations of geForce (if it's at all possible)? Is there some benchmark that unambiguously demonstrates the edge Quadro has over geForce?Īll I did is run NVStrap, reboot, uninstall geForce drivers, reboot, instll Quadro drivers.ĭisplay Settings and nVidia control panel show Quadro FX 3500, but I'm not quite convinced yet. Hovering over the value, you can get individual results.I just soft-modded successfully (it seems) an XFX geForce 7900 GS -> Quadro FX 3500. The value depicts the average frame rate. The interpolation in the same category is not possible. Uncertain – How graphics cards operate in the game is being examined for the time being. Uncertain – The graphics card testing has revealed a slower card might ensure a high and stable frame rate. As per interpolation of the similar graphics cards showing low frame rates, the game is possible to lag.
