Nvidia Quadro FX 550 ( i think it's 128mb) ---playing with this one
Or
Nvidia GeForce 6200 ( I think it's 256mb) --- it's in the other computer
Thanks

unless I'm terribly mistaken, the fx 550 is basically a higher clocked fx 540. The fx540 is the "professional" 6600. So you should stick with the fx 550
once upon a midnight dreary, while i pron surfed, weak and weary, over many a strange and spurious site of ' hot xxx galore'. While i clicked my fav'rite bookmark, suddenly there came a warning, and my heart was filled with mourning, mourning for my dear amour, " 'Tis not possible!", i muttered, " give me back my free hardcore!"..... quoth the server, 404.
isnt the quadro for image rendering and not gaming?
Bingo. GeForce will serve you much better.ceslayer23 wrote:

but you can still game on it. There shouldn't be much of a difference FPS wiseceslayer23 wrote:

Tricky one to answer actually max, Quadro's are optimized for OpenGL, whereas GeForce's are optimized for DirectX, in very simplistic terms.
I think they'll be close, but, a_reborn_vetaran, are the rest of the specs of the two machines equivalent?
Any other variations in system configurations will introduce their own variability into the equation.

Whats it for anyway? Rendering or gaming?

the optimization is done mainly on the driver level though. The way I understand it both (geforce & quadro) are pretty much the same hardware wise, but on the geforce OpenGL functionality is crippled. For the quadros the directX functionality is not removed. Even if the fx550 doesn't perform as good as a 6600 (due to bad optimization) it should still be better than a 6200, which has next to no power. no?Scorpion0x17 wrote:

Well, the computer with the FX is a lot better then the one with the GeForce.Scorpion0x17 wrote:

The FX computer has 1Gb Ram, 2 CPU's ( each 1.86 Ghz) + the free space on the C drive is like 120 Gig. (The sound card is really good)
The GeForce computer has 512Mb Ram and only 2 Ghz + the free space on the C drive is only 1Gig and on the other one only 13Gig. (The sound card is good but less good then the other one)
Thanks already for all your responses!

So, the final answer is?
Thanks alot.
Thanks alot.

which is why I asked for how the rest of the system specs compared...
now we know, yeah, from the details given, I'd go with the fx550 too.
so, a_reborn_vetaran, what is the answer?
My answer: Many Thanks guys!
I'll just keep the FX550 where it is now ( you guys just saved me 30 Euro's )

erm?
I got the impression you've got two machines, one for each of the afformentioned video cards - if that is the case, can't you just try it?

8800GT what?
Well, my problem is that I don't know HOW to switch those vid cards... (I'm just 16 and I don't know anything about hardware replacements)Scorpion0x17 wrote:

Pull out the old card (careful, there's a little tab you need to press in).a_reborn_vetaran wrote:

Push in new card.
Job done. Now you just install drivers and away you go.
Not forgetting to disconnect/reconnect the power connectors as you go, of course.Bertster7 wrote:

whatever the opposite of mine is
Do either of them have power connectors?Scorpion0x17 wrote:

From what I remember, neither do.
Nvidia 8800 Gts..................... Awesome !!!!!!!!
Not 100% sure either way. Shoulda put an "if required" on the end of that.Bertster7 wrote:
