Preformance issue with Quadro 600 in a Sandy Bridge computer

[Ferronovum]

Hello everyone.

 

I recently bought a new setup since my old computer got fried. Almost caught fire. Never a cheap powerunit again.

New setup is as follow:

MB: Asus P6P67 Deluxe

CPU: Intel i7 2600k

RAM: Corsair XMS 1600MHz 2x4GB

System HDD: Intel X25-M G2 120GB SSD

Storage HDD: WD Green 1TB

PSU: Corsair CMPSU-750AX

CPU-cooler: Noctua NH-U9B SE2

Optical: Samsung SH-B123L

GPU: PNY Quadro 600 DisplayPort 1GB

Display: acer AL2216W

 

I am very pleased with this setup exept the graphic. WEI in Windows 7 give graphic only 6,6 while the rest is around 7,8. 3DMark 11 gives about 3-4 fps in all exept Physics where it is about 22 fps.

In AutoCAD 2011 it feels slower than my old computer with a poor AGP GPU.

All drivers is updated to latest.

 

Is Quadro 600 really this bad?

Is there any benchmark-prog for CAD cards?

Any ideas of what to do?

Sadly I got the stuff, mounted it and went away for a while so I have passed the date for the return policy.

1st off, you have an entry level workstation graphics accelerator, not a gaming graphics accelerator. I will say that the benchmarks are misleading since they are tracking "gaming performance" which yields much different results than what this card offers in that category. So don't let it make you feel uncomfortable at all, it is a good card for CAD and Video related programs. Still, it is entry level so don't expect top notch performance when dealing with robust 3D CAD design files.

They also review different cards.
