New nVidia Quadro 600 card

[andreas.pettersson]

Does anyone got the new nVidia Quadro 600? It scores a lot better than FX 580 and costs the same, so im currently thinking about switching to these new cards for all new machines. Autodesk hasnt listed the card on their list yet..

Anyone running the new cards with Win7pro x64 + Autocad architecture 2009 (x64)? We are still using the old 2009 but I think we will switch over to 2011 this year. We also use Revit 2011 and 3DS Max 2011. 

Card Score Price (in Swedish SEK)

Quadro 2000 1,124 (3996 SEK)

Quadro FX 1800 710 (3899 SEK)

Quadro 600 696 (1559 SEK)

Quadro FX 580 453 (1545 SEK)

I don't have any info on the new cards but given the number of issues related to graphics cards within acad, choosing an untested/uncertified card is asking for trouble. May I ask what card you are running now and what is prompting the change? I'm still confused as to why Adesk still recommend openGL cards when I've read they've moved to Direct X.

We are using FX580 now.

Good point, I have read the thread and i think i'll stick with the old card and let the drivers mature. If someone need a more powerful card I still have to change it to something faster than Quadro 600.
