Just a little FYI, but @PaulEPeptide generously donated a Quadro 4000 workstation graphics card to my robotics team.
MRW I install it, "upgrading" from GTX 480 SLI configuration (actually downgrading from 3GB of GDDR to 2GB, but the computer doesn't notice it at all)...
And a snippet of my thank-you message to the God-king, himself:
That is all.

I hereby nominate him for the position of "Giver of Computer Parts to High School Children", or "CP Giver", for short.I slapped that bitch into the computer faster than a TESTie crashing an Aurora and HOLY SHIT does it make everything better.
Previously, I had two GTX 480 cards in an SLI, and it was... well, I would say it was decent. That's 3GB of GDDR goodness across two GPUs.
As soon as I had the drivers for the Quadro installed, I loaded up Solidworks and ZOMG THE SOFTWARE IS PUTTING IN THE LITTLE MIRRORED EFFECT UNDERNEATH THE ROBOT! EVERYTHING IS SMOOTH! MY GOD, IT'S FULL OF STARS!
That is all.
