I am a software engineer, and I used to have two 1920×1200 24” screens that I used for most of my work. However, last year I bought a retina macbook pro and saw how crisp that screen looked, and after working on that laptop and then moving over to my desktop for work, those screens looked terrible. So, naturally, I upgraded to two UHD 27” screens. However, my NVIDIA 750 TI could not drive those screens at the same time. I never play video games, so I decided a workstation card was the way to go. This card handles my new screens beautifully. I run linux on my machine, so I can’t really say how it works on windows, but I am sure it will work just as well, if not, better. Also, I mostly just write code, and love the high resolution simply for the screen real-estate and sharp image, so I haven’t tested this card with any kind of graphical or CAD engineering software to see how it performs in that arena. I did, however, download some 4K videos to see if there was any screen tearing during video playback (which is a problem I had with my NVIDIA 750 TI), and there wasn’t. For me, this card was an awesome upgrade for my machine, and I love my dual screen set up. I also love the low-profile form factor, and the low power draw of this card.

I was about to give up on my old PC – it just wouldn’t work properly any more. The video card was the culprit! It was an AMD Radeon card from about 5 years ago. This new NVIDIA based video card is the bees knees! It works perfectly. Right after plugging it in, it gave me basic resolutions. I then downloaded the drivers from NVIDIA, and then re-booted my PC. Boom! I didn’t have to fiddle with it at all – it just worked right away. After setting up the resolution and zoom to my liking (eyes are failing with age!) I plugged in my second monitor, and BOOM!, that just worked perfectly also. Thanks PNY/NVIDIA!

I have a 2070 super as main video board. Needed to add more monitors but lack of slot space, so got this. Worked great on Windows, but ran into some issues on Linux Kubuntu. The free drivers crashed when trying to run the board which seems a bit strange when this chip set dates back to 2015. I loaded the NVidia drivers and it worked fine, but don’t connect anything to it when you bring it up before loading the drivers or you get no video. Kind of hate to have to use non open source drivers, but wanted it to work as it fit nice in available space. It also runs about 12 deg C cooler than the other board.

After going through 3 different type of video cards, I finally found one that does the job. I have a 4-monitor setup, and I always had problems until I found this card. This is a fool-proof card. Simply install it and forget about it. All other cards either required active cables or wouldn’t properly detect the monitors resolution / properties. This one worked instantly. Installed 2 weeks ago and runs smoothly. If I could, I’d give it 6 stars!

I am using Windows 10 x64. I removed an older NVidia-based card from my computer because it would not drive two 4K monitors, but I already had NVidia GeForce Experience installed with the latest drivers for the old card. I thought this would give me a head start with a new NVidia-based card but it turned out not to be the case.
The new Quadro card comes assembled for half-height installation. The part is included in the box for full-height installation in the computer (which I had to use). After installation, I connected one 4K monitor and tried to bring the computer up without installing the new drivers yet (per the instructions). After two self-reboots and several anxious minutes of black screen, the machine finally came up in safe mode (in ancient, VGA resolution), allowing me to install the drivers from the included disk. Driver installation went quickly and smoothly, and I had a 4K desktop pretty quickly. After a reboot, I downloaded an updated graphics driver (there was one available from NVidia) and then connected the second 4K monitor. Just like that, I had two 4K monitors working perfectly.
The card uses space-saving mini-display port connectors, and it comes with 4 mini DP-to-DP adaptors which I did not use. Instead I bought a couple of 2M (6.6ft) cables that had mini DP on one end and DP on the other. These worked fine, but then I decided that I really wanted to put my computer in a spot that demanded these cables’ length would have to be more like 4M (13.2ft). There is all sorts of scary information out there about max lengths of DP cables; in fact the longest passive one you can buy is apparently 3M (9.8ft) which would have been too short. I swallowed hard and order a pair of “Amazon Basic” 2M (6.6ft) Display Port extension cables. I was delighted to find that both 4K monitors came up with this extended cable arrangement just fine, and they continue to work well.
Some information out there might lead one to believe that the quality of the 4K picture of a DP connection might be degraded with a 4M (13.2ft) cable. I could see no difference at all in either resolution or motion video performance. I did ultimately find a source that explained that DP protocol either works 100% or it does not work at all, it’s not a question of quality degradation due to missing bits here and there, it’s a go-no-go situation. Maybe adding another couple of feet would kill it, but at 4M (13.2ft) I’m in business with dual 4K DP-based monitors and very happy.

Le tenía “ojeriza” a las trajetas Nvidia, porque no proveían de sonido por los HDMI. Pero han solucionado ese problema. Me interesaba por el renderizado de video. Teniendo en cuenta, que hay tarjetas de video de hasta 5000€, ésta que está alrededor de los 400, pues produce resultados satisfactorios. Trabaja nativamente en modo 4k. Si se tiene un monitor de 4k y Windows 10 el escritorio y algunas aplicaciones se autoajustan. Pero otras no lo hacen. Pero no es culpa de la tarjeta.
