When will NVIDIA release DX10 Quadros?

 

[PP Mguire]

Probably till way after DX10 comes out and there is a need for it.

I thought Quadro's are just BIOS flashed regular cards, sometimes with more RAM?

 

[NoL]

Quadros are generally the normal chip with a few extra functions that are hardware based. Nothing major and can be flashed visa versa with inability to some functions.

The price hikes immense though.

Quadros are mainly for workstations, which I thought mostly used OpenGL rather than DirectX? So maybe a better question is when will workstation apps use OpenGL 2.0+...

 

[Mr. Popo]

A friend of mine is building a workstation.

The motherboard doesn't have multiple PCI-Express slots, so no SLI for him.

I suggested to go with one powerful card, but current generation of Quadros doesn't DX10 and some applications might use it in the future.
