cards are very, very expensive. But many people know that Quadro and
GeForce graphics cards are virtually identical in hardware. Obviously,
you cannot just use Quadro drivers with your GeForce graphics cards.
However, there is an easy way to soft-mod an NVIDIA GeForce desktop
graphics card into an NVIDIA Quadro professional graphics card. Tech
ARP shows us just how to do it. 'It all revolves around the driver
support for professional 3D applications like 3ds Max or Maya. Quadro
drivers allow the Quadro to be used to accelerate the rendering
operations of such professional 3D applications while GeForce drivers
do not. This is the basis for the premium prices NVIDIA (and ATI)
charge for their professional-grade graphics cards.'"
