Hello,
A CAD card like Quadro turns your pc into a graphics workstation
(working also with an appropriate processor and ram). Quadro is an
AutoCad certified soultion and delivers graphics for high-end
applications like 3D modeling and making feature films. Quadro cards
operate with significantly better performance than consumer cards (at
all levels). It is a solution for the graphics professional and that
is why it is priced higher than consumer cards.
