Sound unbelievable but now I have a quadro plex model 1 in addition to my custom built machine.

Pentium D 950
1 gig twin2x1024-5400ul
p5n32-sli premium
antec p180 case
550w antec HE
and the crown jewel quadro plex model 1 😀

Now I know I will thoroughly enjoy the directx 10 games 😛
 
The quadro plex is the most powerful gpu system on the planet, it is not going to matter if they are not meant for gaming it will destroy any sli system. I think even with the 950 it will run any game very nicely. I need to upgrade the ram to 2gigs before I hook up the plex anyway so I am getting rid of the ram I have. I completly agree with you on the motherboard, it doesn't let me overclock anything with my processor. If you dont know the quadro plex model one is 18k new.
 
The quadro will not game well, i am sorry to inform you, the drivers are not optimised for games, you will lose so much performance it will lag far behind a 8800gtx. In fact, you cant even run games in many cases with that card, unless you like slideshows. Man, I'm actually feeling pain from this, 18,000 is a very much needed new car for me. Anyway, Nvidia recommends 4GB of ram. I really hope it works, post some benchies if you actually get fps in games (though i bet you'll kick 3d-marks ass).
 
Why does everyone dis quadro cards. The drivers make no difference in gaming performance, there is only one vista driver and it supports geforce 8 series and quadro together so the drivers are the same. Quadro is the top of the nvidia line it is more powerful than the geforce and more power is better for gaming. Geforce is like a cheaper made quadro card or they start making the quadro and then use information from it to make the geforce and take out the complex, expensive to make it more inexpensive. I have sli fx-4500 right now until the plex come's out with the vista driver and I have never had any problems with any games except toca race driver 3 which is from cheap codemasters.
 
I hope you havnt bought that card already for your sake :roll: Its true that its not made for gaming and 8800GTX would much better for gaming.
 
The Quadro card may be the most powerful GPU but it is not designed for gaming. It is a workstation graphics card that is used for rendering. If you really want a gaming computer, try building a system based around the Nforce 680i chipset with a core 2 E6600 rather than that Pentium D. The Pentium D cannot hold a candle to a dual core X2 or a core 2. That motherboard is alright, but you could do a lot better. Try aiming for the 8800GTX or R600, which will be out in a few months.
 
I will never buy an ati or a geforce they are cheap. I am going to get a xeon quad core system, they don't support sli but now that I have a plex it doesn't matter. Like having the cake and eating it too. 😛

A workstation card works differently than a gaming card. It has more stable drivers and better precision calculations. But if you think you'll get better framerates you're wrong..it is simply not optimized for this kind of behaviour.
Go to this site..you won't find a single benchmark done on a game.

According to NVIDIA this will not work on the mother board you have. And like the people before have been telling you this will not run games well. It is designed for rendering and professional graphics. It also has its own drivers according to the NVIDIA site. Good luck trying to game with this and a Pentium D.

Not so super. Even if you had the most powerful graphic engine on the planet, that pentium, or any pentium in this galaxy would be bottlenecking it by a long margin, although i would like to know how much 3dmarkies that's able to pull!
 
Do a little more research before actaully trying to build your super gaming compuiter. Listen to the guys that posted above.

First of all Pendium D is a big NO NO! why? cause you've got better choices out there. E4300 E6300 or better yet if your on a tight budget get a freakin AMD X2 3600+
as for the video card unless your a rocket scientist or something you wouldn't be able to take full use of that card. specially if you want to play games on it. instead of spending that load of money on that get yoursefl 8800gtx's and sli them. even 1 8800gtx will kick it's arse in games.
 
He came, he flashed his e-peen, but the crowd didn't cheer.

Reminds me of this guy that lived across the hall from me. He drove a beat-up old Honda (or Toyota) with hub-caps that cost more than the car itself.


Dear OP. Please publish some benchmarks.

LOL. Its the typical "bigger is always better" way of thinking. If it costs more, it must be better. :lol:

My x1900xtx would most likely kill it in games.

Wow, I just looked it up. Its EXTERNAL. Damn, its big. I bet its outstanding for animation, but won't suit a gamer 🙁 .

I see a few problems with what you're saying :

1) Quadros are not made for gaming... they are professionnal cards designed for applications like 3ds max or maya.

2) Quadro plex I comes with 2 Quadro FX 5500... that are not DirectX10 cards (Quadro 5600 and 4600 are DX10) so you can forget DX10 games

3) your CPU and your amount of RAM are insufficient for a Quadro Plex AND for extreme gaming (have you heard about Supreme Commander, for example ?)

Conclusion : if you really have a Quadro Plex :
1) sell it to someone who really needs it...
2) buy a decent CPU, one more GB of RAM, and 2 8800GTX
3) Play games !
 
THIS RIG IS TRULY UNBELIEVABLE.

It costs more than $15000 and can be out performed by a $4000 that has a nice look and is water cooled.

consider a quad core qx6700,
2x8800gtx
a decent motherboard
4gb ram
2 raptor x raid 0
4x750gb for storage
mozart tx case( with all the bells and whistles)
a good water cooling
blu ray and hd dvd drives
30" cinema displays

this wont even cost $10000

Actually it won't.

The Quadro and FireGL line of cards from nVidia and ATI respectively don't work the same way as traditional "gamer" cards. I don't know enough to explain it, but wikipedia and google are your friend. Trust me, if you bought that card for gaming... you wasted a lot of money.

Not to mention the proc is crap, apparently someone said the motherboard wasn't so hot, lack of overclocking with that memory (that may or may not be your thing)

So all in all...
1) big waste on your video card unless you're doing 3D modeling/CAD work
2) processor bites it, if you're doing 3D modeling/CAD work you DEFINATELY picked the wrong proc
3) well... focus on those

You want to buy me two of those "Cheap" 8800 GTX's? That would be great!


I had a laught with that. With that kind of though, why not buy one of those giant computers that can predict the whether and put a quadro inside of it? It couldnt go much pointless than that for sure.
 
This is like buying a 16 cylinder, 700HP diesel dump truck and saying you have the fastest vehicle on the street. Coupling this with a Pentium D and PC5400 memory only makes me think that this has to be a joke post or some fiction drilled up by a 13 year old to "impress" others. I'm not buying it and I guess the attempt to impress a bunch of faceless strangers backfired seriously. :roll: :lol:
