Having used it extensively for over a month now, this card is stable, reliable, and very easy to get up and running. The latest Linux driver is perfect in every way for my uses. Wireframe/shaded views are great, the tiniest bit of slowdown occurs in highres textured mode.

Quick review of NVIDIA Quadro FX 1700
Brilliant. Don't be fooled by the 'midware' label and relatively cheap price- this recently released card outperforms older, supposedly more powerful quadros.
I'm running high quality hardware rendering on Maya 2008 with several normal maps, large textures and complex lighting and it's running like an absolute peach. ...
