nvidia quatro 280 PCI video card? *desperate poster*
I'm an [censored] for posting a video card question. I'm sorry but I'm starting to panic about this.
Is the "nvidia quatro 280 PCI video card" graphics card a good for my two Dell 2001FP:s? Or is there some equally good or better more affordable nvidia alternative? I'm looking for a PCI card and the only thing the computer is used for is poker and internet browsing. thanks for the help! I really have no idea about these things. |

i think that card would do very good for what you need it for. it is very economical compared to other Nvidia Quadro dual cards. the only thing about this one is you will need to buy a DMS-59 to dual DVI cable for it (unless it comes with one). you don't want to use the analog cable for your LCDs.

Get a Nvidia Quadro used on eBay with dual DVI outs. Thank me later. [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]
Quadro's with dual DVI outs are very expensive, but you can get them for a fraction of MSRP on eBay used, they are usually Dell pulls. |

the Quattro cards are for video editing of some type I believe...might be important in some lines of work but you don't need to pay a premium. No need to stress over video cards. Maybe 5 years ago, not now. Unless you're a hardcore gamer any budget card is going to work fine for you, and a budget card used to be like $100, now it's cheaper and far better.

Nvidia's quatro/quattro however you spell it, cards are used by 3d modelers, a lot of CAD stuff. If you're looking for a cheaper good card, just get a VGA and DVI Geforce 4 Ti4200/4400/4600, Geforce 3 would probably work fine too.

If you are using LCDs, I highly suggest against what hate said because there usually is a huge difference between using a DVI connection and an analog (VGA) connection. your screen will be a little blurry with the VGA and you won't be getting the stellar quality that your LCD can produce.
