    Got a friend who needs a PC to run Siemens NX 8.5. He wants to get a quadro card to help it run smoother. But can't you hack a geforce card to run like a quadro card? and will it actually be worth it?

    Thanks

    geforce to quadro hacks are not the simple vbios hacks anymore. It's still possible but only if you are really handy with changing smd resistor parts on circuit boards because now days it's a hardware hack. The biggest difference on quadro is the drivers that have optimizations for certain programs, which you can't get to install on geforce and the ogl/ocl performance not being crippled. Maybe you can find a good price on quadro 4000 or similar in used market. Those are just old enough to be in the sweet spot of still useful but cheap.
