Re: Donated computer hardware from Smoky Mountain Regional?
It does help a little bit in some CAD apps but not as much as a Quadro or Fire Pro or similar workstation card and unfortunately there is no way to softmod it into one as there isn't an equivalent quadro card.

I will agree with what has been said, do not be alarmed if you see temperatures of over 90C, the things need a ton of juice to power and can heat up a room. That being said there have been no stability issues with mine, artifacts or crashes even running nvidia beta drivers
