    My video card was just replaced with a GeForce3 Ti200. What might I have to do
    to get the best performance out of it? (Hacks, options, tweaks, etc.) Thanks

    Hello Dave!

    There are quite a few tweaks you can do for Inventor. First I would suggest
    you convert your Geforce into a Quadro using Soft Quadro, to gain a little
    performance and alot of professional features:

    A good place to start: http://www.guru3d.com/rivatuner/softquadro/

    I was wondering...if I hack this to a Quadro, will I still be able to play my
    games? Specificly, Age of Mythology?

    No it should not affect your games, softquadro is a driver hack so if you
    do have problems (you should not) you just reinstall the Nvidia drivers and
    its back to normal.

    Sure Dave,

    The Soft Quadro drivers unlock extra instructions and paths in the NV core.
    Because of this, you may notice 5-20% decrease in performance.

    Not in games though, because no opengl games use these instuctions only CAD
    programs. I have never had a FPS drop in any off my games.

    Ooops! Your right Paul. The decrease in performance i was seeing was from
    moving from more efficient detonator 4 drivers to the slower "Certified"
    drivers.

    Cheers,

    Ashley
