Soft-Mod Your NVidia GeForce to Quadro Professional

[GS News]

A new guide up on TechARP shows PC gamers how to soft-mod their NVidia Geforce to a NVIDIA Quadro professional graphics card. The hardware difference between the NVidia GeForce and Quadro graphics cards are negligible. Despite the almost identical make up, customers pay up to 2-5X more for the Quadro.

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.

This new guide will walk you through modifying your software to essentially turn your NVIDIA GeForce desktop graphics card into a NVIDIA Quadro professional graphics card. This will NOT improve your gaming performance, but it will greatly improve your performance with professional 3D applications like 3ds Max and Maya.
