Quadro Fx1800 vs Geforce 1060 6GB??

[Anonymous]

I know it's probably a silly question but I'd love to be 100% positive.

I have both cards, different PC's - The quadro is in the old Pc.

The thing is i'm not quite happy with the viewport rendering I'm getting with the geforce... I used to work with the Quadro Fx 1800 in the old PC while using Maya 2014 but the hardware requirements seems so much higher in this 2017..

Should I give it a go with the Quadro 1800 or maybe I would losing my time (and probabbly warranty)?

Old PC: HP Pavillion a6685es --> QuadCore , 4GB RAM DDR2

New PC: AMD OCtactore (can't remember the actual details), 32 RAM DDR5

Thanks for your help.

The Quadro card is quite old and is about as fast as a GeForce GT430:

Go with the GeForce 1060! In Benchmarkcomparison the 1060 is about 16 to 20 times faster!
