I have always used Quadros in my Avids and Geforce based cards on my laptops and home systems. Regardless, Avid has always seemed to work. But now I am looking into building a dedicated system for my home bay and I was hoping that the bone crushing power of the Geforce based machines would be enough without having to go to the Quadro cards (at least until the client stream is well enough along).
Thanks all.

Full disclosure... I've been using GeForce cards without very many problems for years. V7 is the first time it has actually become unusable for me.

I've got a very old GeForce GTS250 in my home Z400. Been running Avid on it with no problems for years, although it's obviously not officially supported. I'm currently on Version 7.0.3 with Symph option using nvidia driver version 311.06. Windows 7 pro. 16GB ram etc etc. Never had a problem, so it can be done for cheaps. Obviously performance-wise I can do better, but happily using a non-quadro card in a pc.

The Mac and the PC handle the graphic card in different ways, and Avid supports whatever is supported by OSX, while it's not quite the same on Windows, a Quadro only land; that said, if You don't have 1000 bucks for an high end Quadro, please do Yourself a favour and consider a 500 euro Quadro K2000 or even a 170 euro K600 (figures should be lower in US $), and stay away from the old, still on sale, non K cards, they're slightly cheaper and way less powerful than their K counterpart.
