I have recently purchased an Asus P7P55D, using Quadro FX 1400 atm, i wonder if this is a decent set up? or should i have purchased a P7P55D-PRO that supports SLI instead?
would SLI support be an issue in terms of performance?

i am no expert in 3D max but after building my current computer, to be honest i cannot YET tell if the Quadro card has been giving me a big boost or not… maybe there’s a way for me to test out the performance difference between my other laptop (Geforce 8600GT)??

when i go into the viewport setting (on my Geforce 8600GT) i realised the “line antialised” sample goes up to 8X but with my Quadro FX 1400 only 4X @@???? why is this? i thought Quadro cards should be better in terms of viewport performance???? or is this a driver-based problem?

All DCC software are CPU limited, you only take advantage of SLI/ crossfire with very huge resolutions like dual 30” TFT.
