Back in March we had reviewed the Quadro FX1700 512MB graphics
card, which is NVIDIA's lower-end OpenGL 2.1 workstation graphics card
that's based upon the consumer G84 core. In the benchmarks that had
followed, we had compared the Quadro FX1700 performance under Windows,
Linux, and Solaris. We had found the performance of this Quadro graphics
card performed well under all three platforms, but Ubuntu Linux had led
the race. We are now preparing a review of the high-end ATI FireGL V8600
1GB graphics card for publishing in the coming days, but we have
stumbled upon some results from the FX1700 that never ended up making it
out earlier. Specifically we had overclocked the Quadro FX1700 with
CoolBits and it had actually worked out quite well. In this article are
the overclocking results from this NVIDIA workstation graphics card as
well as comparing the performance to an ATI Radeon HD 2900XT 512MB
graphics card.
