Hello there,
Recently my Quadro 4000 got toasted (caused my computer crash to BSOD, black screens and boot failures) and I replaced it with my old Quadro FX1700 (which is a charm but still barely handles AutoCAD 2012 and Max 2011)
On the other hand I remamber when I got the Quadro 4000 eight months ago I didn't feel any boost in performance. I didn't feel it outperforms my old FX1700 by much.
But I never had the chance to test Quadro 4000 under 3Ds Max 2012 with the new Nitrus system.
Anyway the Quadro 4000 is fried and I am looking for a replacement from the Geforce series.
I am looking for somthing to improve viewport, gpu rendering (via VrayRT or iRay) dont interests me.
How about the Geforce 580 compared to the Quadro 4000?
