I find this quite a fascinating discovery. Being in the architecture industry I know that Autodesk recommends the Quadro cards for their software, particularly Revit, and I have always found them to overpriced and seriously underperforming. So I find it interesting that you can get extra performance from their drivers.Hello, hope you're all doing well.
This topic kept me 'busy' in a sense that I tried exploring further possibilities on the NVidia driver front.
Been able installing the Quadro variant of NVidia driver (NV560.76) on my GTX 1060 6G yesterday (Yes, with hack this is possible).
Not completely sure yet (am testing), but this Quadro one seems even slightly better than previously installes SD 560.70.
(Quadro drivers are/were supposed to generate enhanced colors due to 10bit, but many say this is just placebo/snake-oil)
Anyway, keepers for now. Just to let you know. Some might find this useful, like myself.
Have a good day all.
I've had to convince a few companies over the years that, despite what Autodesk tells you, a "gaming" PC offers far superior performance and speed when working with 3d programs than a workstation does, and the Quadro cards were as useful as door stops as they were graphics cards. 🤣
