Problems with games

[Kaizen]

well im in the office and after some discussions weve done a upgrade to 5 networked security pcs
Intel Xeon EM 64T 2.8Nocona ..
1 gig of ram
and well these cards my uncle got a lil cheaper so he took them quadro fx 1300s only 2 systems have it
the others have standard cards knowing that the quadro is alright for gaming atleast i think so i decided to boot the system up and try out some games  im not sure if because these cards are mainly for graphic design but the performance is bad and the games are glitchy sometimes ..anything i can do for that? or is it jus the card?

yeah, the workstation cards are geared towards opengl, not so much general gaming.

It is usually a driver side thing since the hardware is most often based on a regular gaming card.

The ATI Firegl T2 for instance is pretty much a Radeon 9600 tweaked for the workstation market.

If you drop a regular 9600 Radeon driver on there (some patched ones exist) you can get all the gaming goodness out of it, sans glitches.

Same should apply for these puppies.

See if you can find out what gaming card they are based on and see if there are any hacked drivers.
