would usig this softmod help with performance in avid media video editing software?

If you attempt the mod in your new system, please let us know how it goes. Thanks!

PS. Can you quantify the improvement you saw after modding your GeForce 5200?

Well, all I really have been running lately is SoliWorks2009 and that program seems to benefit the most from this by all the benchmark tests posted. I would have to say that I am getting 100%-150% better results in the graphics. In my opinion the difference from old to new is HUGE.

I can't seem to find anyone that has tried this in SLI so I think I am going to give this a try with 2 or 3 way SLI on my new build and all make sure to do before and after benchmarking for results.

Thanks

Please make sure you are using a driver that's compatible with Rivatuner.

We do not have any results on Avid, so we cannot tell you.

There's no harm trying it though. It's a softmod. You can just disable it if it doesn't work.

Yeah, haven't heard of anyone trying it in SLI. Do let us know how it goes!

Hi guys, I was wondering if someone could mod a gtx 285 in to a quadro fx 5800 in Vista x64 SP1.

From the charts it seems to be possible, but is it really?

Thanks

It is "possible" but unless someone actually tests it out, we will never know.

I think Rivatuner mod doesn't work in Vista.

Hy guys, i own an g92 card and unfortunatelly i'm pretty sure that this chipset isn't softmoddable in Riva Tuner anymore.Actually i read somewhere on RT's official forum one post written by Unwinder himself (the creator of RT) that he's not supporting softmodding after g80's and he's not planning to continue developing patches for drivers and nvstrap patch for newer chips...unfortunatelly.Indeed, in the latest Rt's changelog the newest chips are listed as supported but just for overclocking and fans control-correct me if I'm wrong!
I read the latest article about softquadro (v 4.0) and I've seen nowhere informations about patching the quadro drivers prior to install them.From what I know from my past sucessfully attepts to softmod various Nv videocards, installing an unpatched driver doesn't really unlock the professional capabilities of the modded card.I mean that the driver installs but in Riva Tuner Openglide's properties, the "professional" tab remains inactive.Did somebody who reported an succesfully mod on this boad, managed to change the OpenGlide tab's properties with an unpatched Quadro driver?.I'm pretty sure that patching the driver offers way more performance.Regards everyone!
