NVIDIA Quadro P1000 Professional 4GB, gddr5, Graphics Board (VCQP1000-PB)

I am not a IT professional, however I seemed to know more about my computer than the Dell techs I spent days with trying to get a graphics card to function on it. Turns out buying cheaper offerings of the same Nvidia Quadro P1000 was the core problem. This card was the third one purchased. Packaging was very good, delivery was quicker than the original delivery date, and most importantly the card worked as it should right out of the box. Repairs and upgrades on a computer need to start with "Good working components". Best experience ever.

This is not a gaming card but rather a workstation card. We run revit, Mavis manage and autocad at work and these are a great value for us. Works great unless you are trying to render a full building model in full scene lights

I purchased a new 38" monitor that supports 4K resolution so I wanted a card that supported it at a good refresh rate. I'm a software developer and screen real estate and text sharpness are high on my list, and board delivered on those features. The board supports multiple display port connections, so it would have worked with my previous 2 monitor setup. All in all, I'm happy with the video board.

This card is small, whisper quiet and performs quite well for the price. This is NOT a gaming card for hard core gamers, but it will do quite nicely for casual gamers or anyone else as an upgrade from older cards,or on board video. It can be purchased with mini-DP to HDMI adaptors or a mix from other vendors. The standard adapters are 4 of the mini-DP to DP adapters. As a note, the audio output can be a bit odd with it sending too strong of a signal to a system with a rear speaker setup making them WAY too loud. This is a Nvidia driver software issue more than a hardware problem though and can be fixed with some creative settings tweaking between the Nvidia and Windows drivers to get it right. Another odd thing with the Nvidia drivers is that, as a default, it limits the color range to that of a HMDI television for each connected monitor. If you are using monitors and not TVs, you must go into each connected monitor's settings and change the color range to: FULL 0-255. Doing this will help make the display colors pop more and the contrast will also be quite improved. This is how Nvidia sets up the driver on most of their cards so if you have a Nvidia card and the colors seem a little washed out on your monitor’s display, changing this 1 setting will help a LOT!

GRAN PRODUCTO

Great ban for the buck in a business computer with an SFF case.

I’m very much disappointed with this purchase. First of all, it is clearly a used graphics card, even though it was NOT mentioned anywhere in the product description about that fact. If I’d wanted to buy a used one, I would have found it somewhere else for a much lower price. The inner part of the fan was full of dust. Secondly, the GPU is declared to be PNY, according to the product description, however, it’s actually Dell. Thirdly, the item arrived without original packaging. It was just inside an antistatic plastic, which was in turn wrapped in a bubbled plastic, placed inside some box. No user manual, no drivers, and most importantly, no high profile ATX bracket was included, which makes this graphics card pretty much unusable for me, as I cannot install it in my NAS server. According to the product description, that bracket was supposed to be included. The four mDP to DP adapters were included though. With all that said, I cannot give more than one star to this product, and I cannot recommend it to anyone, as for this price, you can easily get two such used GPUs with all the required parts included. I’m very much disappointed.

The video card was easy to install and works great. Currently running two 27” HD curved monitors.
