Quadro Questions

Stick with your 960. The only benefits to quadro cards is the fact that they are cherry picked, (usually) more power efficient, can output 10 bit color, and have ECC memory. Your 960 will be much faster at rendering than that quadro. Unless you need the 10 bit color or ECC, I wouldn't bother.

Now i currently have Gtx 960 Gigabyte G1 gaming edition, and i love it, it works for the amount of gaming I do.  However I do a fair bit of Rendering videos and 3D modeling/Rendering.  I happened across a Older Quadro 3800 fx on craigslist and it just kind of got me wondering.  Not that I am  gonna run out and buy one but i can get one off of amazon for like 50-100 dollars.  I guess my question is what would the specs and performance look like compared to the Gtx, I know it has less vRam but i cant really find much on them? any help or information would be appreciated!

depends what software you use. my 9800gt had CUDA 1.1, and my 3D modeling software (blender) required CUDA 2.0, so make sure its compatible
