What should I do with this?

[_Grid21]

I have an old Nvidia Quadro FX 3800 video card that I took out of a dell precision T5500 workstation that I use as a file/Minecraft/Teamspeak server. I know it seems stupid to ask but with the specs that it has it is worth keeping as a back up? I know those cards are old, but does a quadro card offer different abilities as compared to a GTX card? Just kinda curious and wanted to ask.

Hey again, this will help you out  basically the Quadro has features geared more towards the professional side of things. Rendering features and things like that.

Would it be worth it to have this older card for rendering, and the other one for gaming? Like Use the Quadro card for GPU acceleration.

It could be done however I doubt it would shave much time off the rendering vs any modern Geforce card's GPU rendering. Especially with only 192 CUDA cores.

The issue I am running into is that Sony Vegas Pro 13 doesn't recognize Maxwell GPU right now, I thought maybe an older card would work better with it.

Oh, that's interesting though I wouldn't think that card would be any faster than the CPU with the low CUDA count.

I guess so when you consider I have a 4790 Intel processor. It was just out of curiosity.

I learned something from this too, i'll have to switch to Première Pro if i'm upgrading .

Actually you won't have too, I have confirmation from a Sony Rep that said they do plan to update Sony Pro 13 for Windows 10. (If we're talking about the same thing still)
