Yes, it will just be very, very bad at it.
I do not know what you mean exactly by 'multimedia' it covers quite a lot of uses.
If you have not already done so, take a look here:

^ It is also a workstation card, yes it will game, but it is not designed to do so.
Please do not take this the wrong way but: If you want to play games, use a gamers card, workstation cards are just not good at it.

Gaming = car race
Workstation GPU = Steel plated hummer
Top of the line gaming GPU = Porsche

Can you race with a hummer? Yes. Good at it? Probably not.

Hi!

I must answer!

I work and I play on a HP8730w with a Quadro FX 2700M and all I can say is that I play a few games as good as on my desktop PC with 8800GTS...

The secret is that the games based on OpenGL runs with this graphic card (Half Life 1 & 2, Counter Strike Source, Left 4 Dead).
For exemple with L4Dead on 1680x1050 with all parameters "High" you can play very fast.
But with a fery simple game like Trackmania Nations you must play at 1440x900.
Idem for Anno 1404.

So I think Quadro FX can be a Porshe for Open GL games! ;)

One last thing: for my part I always prefer Nvidia drivers to the one of the computer manufacturer (HP for me).

No you must not, especially since it's an old thread, and you don't know WTF you're talking about. [:thegreatgrapeape:6]

No it won't, you might perceive it as such, but only because you don't know what you're looking at. :heink:
There is no way that a chip with half the shader, and half the texture units running at the same speed attached to slower and less bit-wide memory is going to be on par with it's desktop counterpart, unless of course the rest of your desktop sucks! :sarcastic:

Complete crap, since those are ALL Direct3D/DX games, not OpenGL games !! [:thegreatgrapeape:5]

You can play games on Workstation cards/chips, but what you said above is complete BUNK !! :pfff:
