More Information

Hello, i have a friend who is looking at building a CAD computer, specifically using Solidworks and ProE. I have a 7900GT and I'm look at at flashing the bios to a quadro, but one I'm trying to figure out what quadro its comparable to, so far it looks like its either a FX 1500 or an FX 3500.

i would like flash it to a FX 3500 but was wondering if anyone could see some problems with this, or is there a better way. And if you do have access to the FX 3500 bios i would love to get a copy of it if you could PM me or email it to me.

I'm trying to save him money so if this works id probably end up trying to sell this one to him.

actully they are the exact same GPU both G71 processors, so the only difference is the bios on the board. So thats why im looking for a way to change it to a Quadro FX3500 bios

also the problem with running a 7900 is that he can not use realview in solidworks.

Well if you read around a lot of people are able to flash there mobile 7900GS to a 7900GTX or a quadro FX 3500m which is all the same. But also on the FX3500 the board is identical to the 7900, in everyday, the specs on bandwidth are the same, and also on things like fill rate. So idk the only difference is that the FX3500 is built off the 7900GS which has 20 not 24 pixel pipelines. and this is where i get concerned...

As far as I know this is something that could be succesfuly done in the GeForce2 era. I dont think you will have much success with it now. I wouldnt advise you flash the bios you could destroy your card.
I have done this thing before and never with much success.
