I've been looking for informations on many forums these past few weeks to improved my Computer Gaming culture. Yesterday, while reading posts on what's the best graphic card for gaming, a new element came into play. The Nvidia Quadro FX5600. I know this is a card for graphic design, etc...

Now comes my question:

-Is a Nvidia Quadro FX5600 good for gaming?
-Is it better than Geforce 8 Serie cards?
-Besides the fact that it's ''EXPENSIVE'' :pt1cable: , would you choose this card for your gaming rigs? Why?

Thanks folks!

Nope..quadro cards are crap for playing games..they are designed for high end video editing/autocad editing etc. You can play games with them but the performance is about 20-30% behind the Geforce range.
Are they better than the 8 series? No for games. Yes for the above.
Would I choose one? no..as for above.
