Experimental NV47 (aka G70) support has been already added to RT couple releases ago. But it is locked till the actual chip launch. To unlock it you can add the following line to [GPU_10DE] section of RivaTuner.cfg: NV47 = 90h-9Fh Extended NV47 support (including NV47-compatible NVStrap) will be available in 15.6
Lx3, Any luck about changeing it into Quadro FX 4500? Or if even the "unlock professional capabilities" did anything?
Lord Banshee Forget about it. You won't be able to do it enabling just one option in NVStrap. NV already started introducing hw protections against masked pipeline unlocking and Quadro caps unlocking on new revisions of NV43 (rev A4) and NV41. The same applies to NV47.
Heh, this method was so popular with the geforce 6 series they had to stop it i guess... like for me my card is unlocked and i'm verry lucky to have my xtra performance bonus
So do you think we're seeing an end to "softquadroing" with rivatuner? Stupid Nvidia, always trying to not lose money...
Well, judging by the lowered prices for great cards like Quadro FX 540 (~$250) and Quadro FX 1400 (~600), i think NVIDIA is definitely trying to sell more genuine Quadros...
Very good points. I kinda wish someone other than PNY would make quadros as well. I own a PNY, and I haven't had any problem, but BFG, eVGA, etc are very good companies. Also, possibly bring some competition in and lower costs. But hey, they aren't that dumb.
