Games are starting to use Quad more, you know.

oh well, I'm not that much as a hardcore gamer xD
I don't think I'll get many new games, unless some really good one

and I tend to lean towards graphic intensive games xD (aka. Oblivion, crysis <---which I can't play on my current system spec)

Uhm... Crysis? Whoops?

I think you can expect at least something out of your workstation graphics processor. Sure it wasn't built with gaming in mind... but hey, I guess it can't be below 8600GT in terms of gaming performance, nah?

you wouldnt believe it man....Quadros and FireGL's suck at gaming....like really

Fadingz · March 26th, 2008

xD I think I'll test it when I get the chance~
Probably test a few PS2 game son PCSX2 xD
and yeah they lack support for games, they offer features for doing stuff.

but one Quadro/FireGL will destroy two of anything else when it comes too rendering

Fadingz · March 26th, 2008

yeah, it killed the 3way SLI too LOL
but they cost so much =_=
FX4600 is costing me a good $1459.99...
Actually I'm not sure if I should get them piece by piece, since I'm getting my case around May 9th (when my semester ends) and I don't think I will risk for the warranties of 30 days T.T
I think I'll get the ones I can test first...
So hmm, HDD, Scren (which I do have already), mem(90days from newegg and lifetime from G.Skill), Vista 64
I'll probably grab something throughout the rest of the time when it has huge discount.
