3D applications with a 660 Ti

xNeon

I have a 660 Ti in my system, and have stopped gaming recently. I've been doing some mind numbing research and have found in a few places that there are minimal differences between Quadro and GeForce cards, mainly that GeForce is clocked higher and optimized for performance as far as frame rates and things like that and Quadro is clocked lower and optimized for reliability and less artifacts and so on. So basically my question is, where can I find drivers to use a 660 Ti with all of its CUDA power for applications like NukeX, AutoCAD and Maya? This would just be a hobby, so if the drivers don't exist I'm not gonna drop the money on a K5000. Thanks for any help!

You cant, they are designed differently. They have different pcbs, any driver that would work wouldnt work well and will have many problems.

Nvidia purposely tries to prevent good workstation class drivers for GeForce cards because it would hurt their bottom line.
