NVIDIA Quadro NVS 290 - Graphics adapter - Quadro NVS 290 - PCI Express x16 - 256 MB DDR2 - Digital Visual Interface (DVI)

Nvidia Quadro 400 NVX

Advantages: Dual Display, Great Driver Interface
Disadvantages: Drivers Out Of Box Dont Work, Adjustments have a small learning curve.

The card itself works great once you fiddle with the settings, I learned early on that when the computer asks to be restarted its wise to do so. The drivers that come with the card create a lot of problems, and it is just easier to grab the latest drivers from nvidia's website. The settings must be done in a special order to avoid the machine wanting to reboot several times before getting decent resolution options. The card does manage to play most older titles such as "GTA3" and its opengl support is adaquate with a fast enough machine. Its a good card after it has been tweaked, but I would advise getting a geforce series if you want the dual monitor functionality. ...

Review of PNY NVIDIA Quadro FX 3000G

Quadro 1700 on Linux Maya 8Gb system

Advantages: Good all round OpenGL performer. Great software app support too.
Disadvantages: 512Mb of RAM shows when using heavy scenes with lots of textures

I decided to join the Nvidia camp, and buy a 'professional' card, as opposed to a gaming focussed card. I work in the field of 3D using various 3D packages (Maya etc) and some 2D packages. OpenGL performance is key, and the need for ZERO time lag when doing delicate 3D manipulations of geometry is essential. I went for a brand new mid range card. meaning a good price (just over 300 pounds), yet with great performance. Check out this Nvidia comparison chart to see where the card sits in its product family http://www.nvidia.com/object/IO11761.html 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. Fully ...
