PNY NVIDIA Quadro P600 Professional Graphics Board - VCQP600-PB Graphic Cards

Installed easily in our Dell Precision 5810 workstation. A major upgrade to the Nvidia NVS 310 that came from factory. Solidworks no longer lags upon every move. We also added RAM prior to the card which helped marginally as well. I would say this card is a minimum for Solidworks if you dealing with assemblies over 10 small parts. Load times improved, crashes lessened, and imaging sped up. For the money invested this works great for our situation, while not flawlessly we also didn't put $1000 GPU into a $2000 workstation. I believe the p1000 would net gains above the p600 but the price tag is above too.

The video card works perfectly on my Lenovo Workstation running Windows 10 (1903). The only caveat is that I needed to purchase four video cables for my particular installation since the supplied cables are not compatible with most older displays that with VGA, Digital or HDMI. Other than that the entire installation took about 30 minutes with the longest part of the install being that Windows 10 initially only recognized one video port. Once I ran an internet driver update, one by one the other three monitors came up. One other thing to note is that even though I plugged the monitors in and set them up in the order displayed on the video card itself that is not how they appear with the Operating System. The video card has the ports listed as 1 2 3 4 but for me port 1 is actually monitor 2 and port 2 is actually monitor 1. Port 3 is actually monitor 4 and port 4 is actually monitor 3. Windows allows you to easily reorder the displays so no biggie with that, but one would think that plugging the monitors into the ports as they are labeled and then placing them on the desk in that order that they would come up that way, but sadly... No. Other than that the displays look fantastic for my use which is mixed business. I hope this helps.

I got this specifically to work as a hardware media transcoder on my server. For what I paid, it is an amazing powerhouse. Yes, there are cards that can have unlimited streams at once, but also cost 10x as much. This can do multiple 4k streams at once, no problem. Unless you have a need for 13 streams, you get a Titan GTX. Otherwise, absolutely best bang for your buck.

This card was a pain in the canary to set up. I'm running Win 10 Home in a Dell desktop. First, the card only comes with mini DP to DP adapters, so plan on buying cables. Second, the CD that came with it didn't auto boot, or boot at all. I dug down through the tree to find the driver.exe file and install it. Third, the driver.exe failed. So tried again and did an Advanced install of just the basic driver. That sort of worked. At least I could see my screen now. Contacted NVIDIA chat customer service and the front line assistant lasted 4 lines of exchange before booting me to India and second tier customer service. Okay, he got me up and running, but now my splitter didn't work anymore. Busted back to front line customer service was told "NVIDIA doesn't recommend the use of splitters with their product." Well, I need to have one of my screens echoed to a big screen TV so others in the room can watch what I'm doing, and I need all four of the outputs of the card for 4 monitors. Got offline and played around a bit with cables and discovered that a "Cable Matters Mini DisplayPort to HDMI / DVI / VGA (Mini DP to HDMI / DVI / VGA Male to Female 3-in-1 Adapter in White - Thunderbolt / Thunderbolt 2 Port Compatible-Supporting 4K Resolution via HDMI" adapter that I had purchased so that I could test and diagnose older monitors must be what they call an "active DP" thingy and by running my signal through there to the splitter, it now works just fine! NVIDIA always makes me nervous so in the future I'm going back to Radeon. For the extra $30 I could have gotten a twice as fast card and I've never had problems with their cards in 30 years. Would guess they would have known about and suggested the "active DP" thingy rather than just telling me something just wont work. Anyway, the picture is good now. But if I discover any more limitations to this card in the next week, it's going back.

I have three Quadros cards, all different manufacturers and models. All of the cards work flawlessly on both Linux and Windows machines across a wide range of display formats. These cards typically run under 40C when idle and I've yet to see mine past 50C. Very little noise compared to larger cards. I used to run GeForce line of cards but that was a mistake. If you don't care about achieving 300fps in the most cutting-edge video games then you should probably get a Quadro card. Much less heat and noise. The 4x mini-DP out is extremely convenient for multi displays and saves a lot of cable clustering issues. Since Quadro cards typically have 4 outputs and can stack very easily due to their size you should have no issues with display output count, which makes daisy chaining unnecessary.

Everything works, it came with a full size bracket, i contacted the seller requesting a shorter one. They shipped it to me. All good. Nice experience so far.

This was purchased for a friend who thinks they control the Matrix (just kidding). My friend is extremely talented at multitasking and cannot survive without a 4 monitor setup. (Seriously who needs more than 2 monitors.... again kidding... sort of). This was a forced purchase to replace a very expensive ATI FirePro 2650 card. ATI stopped supporting this card in 2015 and because of this doesn't work as well with the new Windows 10 Fall Creators Update (blue screen and reboot). Microsoft may fix this in the future, but this is no way to run a business, and my friend could not wait. This has a lot of advantages over the FirePro. For one, Mini DisplayPort are clearly numbered vs the VHDCI to DVI solution ATI chose. The ATI cables kept getting loose and mixed up, causing resolution problems and the icons to be rearranged frequently. The Nvidia Quadro's MiniDP are very tight and do not fall out or come loose. The first thing noticed even without the drivers being installed was that the 2d images and text were definitely crisper and more vibrant than the ATI. The fan is very quiet and the power draw is very low. The box comes with 4 MiniDP male to HDMI female adapters about 2-3 long each and a low profile bracket preinstalled. The full size slot bracket needs to be installed manually. My friend decided to go with 10ft Mini DP male to HDMI male cables to simplify things.

First let me say that the rating of this review does not reflect the capabilities of the card and I am only making this review so you can avoid the problem I ran into. The reason I cannot review this card properly is because the one I received turned out to be defective and had to send it back. So, I wanted to share my experience here and am not sure what would be a fair rating so I gave it 4 stars because I do not think I should down rate the product just because mine was defective yet, my experience was negative so I cannot give it 5 stars. I use TVs for monitors in my office (see attached) and I needed a graphics card that can drive my new Samsung UN65MU8500 Curved 65-Inch 4K Ultra HD Smart LED TV so I purchased this card along with 4 Mini DisplayPort to HDMI Cables and was waiting for the TV to be delivered. When I got the TV, I installed the card and used one of the cables but I got no video. I used an older DP to HDMI cable that I had and got video on the TV but after Windows installed the drivers and asked for a restart, my PC would no longer boot. I would have no video and the hard drive led would not even blink once. Now, I know you are thinking this was a windows drivers issue but it is not because I would not even get the BIOS prompts. Using my old nVidia card I updated the BIOS and made sure all settings are correct but could not get passed this problem with the new card. I guess my point here is that you should avoid these Mini DisplayPort to HDMI Cables with this card because they will not work (at least on a 4k TV). I ended up getting a Radeon RX 560 card from a local store which has an HDMI output and worked right away with no problems and has been working great since. I returned the Quadro card along with the 4 cables but I still think that this Quadro card would have been a better fit for my needs compared to the Radeon RX 560 and they were both at the same price range.
