   |  Reflux asks a good question , why do you want a Quadro card ?? You might want to read up on one before ever buying one , as they are 3d / graphics design card . Pricey yes and not intended for gaming. If your considering it because you do 3d rendering / graphics/ CAD etc etc work , then by all means get one, I've used them in the past and they are extremely good for what they were built for.

| the modern quadro is really a handsome device - ive seen the most amazing maya rendering times. theyre really spanking the firegl's atm no reason to lecture the guy on what a workstation card is... im sure he wouldnt have asked about prices if he didnt know what it was |

  | It's pretty much a workstation version of the 7800GTX 512. Don't buy it for gaming/general use.
