NVIDIA GeForce To Quadro Soft-Mod Guide

[JoshuaChang]

IMO, if u really need professional software acceleration and don't have much money, an entry-level quadrofx 370 should be a good choice, around $120, can provide much stronger professional opengl performance than a softmode gf7/8 series, include support for 3ds max/autocad performance driver

Hi Joshua,

You are right. The benchmark figures of real Quadros are much faster than the soft-modded ones. I guess it's only useful for those who have already purchased the GeForce and want "free" speed boosts.

[citybird]

I think is not possible boost all nvidias card, in opengl mode, by soft mod, after g80!
In G92 cards the nvstrap tab is not available in riva tuner.

[Blitzkrieg]

yeah, I think so, after G80, Riva Tuner's NVStrap doesn't work anymore.Is locked for good

[kimus]

now leave the nvidia quadro with the g200 chip (fx4800)
is the same that the gtx 260
now is possible the softmod?

Hi terrablader,

What were your results before applying the mod?

i will look around for the results prior to mod. there was a huge difference. Modding the Radeon is a bit tricker. I posted a walkthrough after finally got it:


forums.guru3d.com/showthread.php put www. before it since " i have to post 5 times before putting a url or 3 times before posting an image.
