So, Quadro prices may spike soon...

EDIT: today I am home, so after watching the video I decided to test Phil's assertion that "he struggled to find an OpenGL game that ran worse on the Quadro". Well, quick benchmarks of Q3A, usually a go-to OpenGL benchmark...
Test system:
Dual P3-S 1400
1GB RDRAM
Audigy2 ZS
Promise SATA300 with OCZ Vertex4 SSD
Windows 2000 with Unofficial SP 5.2
ForceWare 93.71, default settings
Quadro FX 1000 in 2 configs:
-overclocked to 400 / 400
-flashed to Geforce 5800 at 400 / 400
Quake3 1.32c, SMP mode
1024x768, all Highest, average of 3 runs
Q1000 : 194.1
G5800 : 199.0
1080p, all Highest, average of 3 runs
Q1000 : 119.1
G5800 : 154.8
So much for that... I usually like Phil's videos, and I get he's just a guy like us playing with hardware. I wish, however, that he did a more thorough job before posting a video like that: 40k subscribers can significantly alter the prices of hardware 😒
