Maya 8.5 Geforce 280 Issues
December 11th, 2008
I was having some major display issues in Maya 8.5 after I purchased a Geforce 280. What would happen is my Maya scene would start flickering and jumping around the scene whenever I tried to interact with the 3d view. After much research and frustration I found the fix. Go to your Nvidia display properties tab and turn OFF the Threaded Optimization setting. It seemed to fix the issue. On a side note… What happened? Nvidia used to have the better drivers.. now they are pretty terrible. WTF?
Only quadro drivers go through the DCC certification process. The problem will eventually be fixed, but it may take some time for the fix to be merged from the quadro to the GeForce branch.

Lack of competition IMO
I have always shunned the Quadro series because the cost difference was never justified and I almost always got better polygon performance out of the game cards. And this crappy Maya behavior is new to the Geforce series. Maya also has never done a good job supporting graphics cards. They want people to use Maya as a game creation tool yet they don’t support game cards? Sillyness. And yeah, no competition makes one fat and lazy.
