NVIDIA Quadro K2000D 2GB GDDR5 Memory Graphics Cards VCQK2000D-PB

I'm using this card along with the onboard video to drive 4 monitors. I'm using two1200 x 1024 monitors for text and 2 Eizo RadiForce 3mp monochrome medical displays with a Sectra PACS at my home. Easy to install, set up and use. Win 7 Pro chooses optimum resolution for each display. No issues so far. I was aware of the daisy chain option with this graphics card, but it was easier to activate the on board video to drive one of my text monitors.

I use PC based CAD, modeling, and rendering software and I had an unused Apple Cinema Display sitting in the office. This video card improved my rendering time and the Cinema Display is working flawlessly with my PC. Installation couldn't have been easier. I was hoping for a bit more speed but it's everything you should expect for this price point.

It contained a Quadro FX570.Since I place parts on a shelf until needed...Amazon got me for the cost of a K2000D instead of a cheap FX570.

I purchased this card straight from the source. PNY, not a third party. when I received it, the box had wear and tear, and the tape was torn. Inside, at first I saw the card and thought "Well, at least it's not damaged. Although, it's smaller than I expected." I plug it in and noticed it's short on one mini DP in the back. I think "Maybe they redesigned it? I won't need that port, so no complaints." I go to install the drivers. "INSTALLED GRAPHICS ADAPTER: NVIDIA Quadro FX 570". What? I google that card, and sure enough, it's exactly the one I just installed. And it's a pile of garbage card. PNY sells it for ~$100. My +$400 K2000D was removed from the packaging and replaced with this card. At what step in the boxing and shipping process could that have even happened? How did I get scammed when buying straight from the source?I gave a 3 start rating cause it makes you give a rating. I wanted to warn everyone. I'll give the card itself a review once I get the thing. I have to wait two days to file a claim, but in the meantime, I'm demanding a replacement. Jesus, this is infuriating. I can't sit around and wait for all this garbage, I need a professional card for actual work.

I use Maya, Mudbox, ZBrush, RealFlow, Photoshop, etc. And this card performs well. If you know you need one and you're using programs that really use a workstation card's power/architecture correctly, you won't be disappointed. Can even handle light gaming. I've always been more of a Quadro person, rather than FirePro, when it comes to workstation cards. I feel like Nvidia's drivers are better, but that's just me.Fits into my system nicely for work at home: 4770k, 32gb ram, etc.

I was told this thing would rock, not so much. I use Blender and realtime rendering with cuda. Not great for sure.

This was a replacement for my 6-year old Quadro 2000D which ran flawlessly 12 hours a day for its lifetime, until a faulty power supply finally caused it to fail. This newer model provides an even greater visual experience than the previous one, runs cooler, and is driving two large LED monitors while doing it. As a design engineer doing intensive 3D CAD work 60 hours or more a week, I highly recommend it.

I run SolidWorks 2014 with Win 8.1, an Intel i7 4770K CPU with 16GB and two Dell 3007 monitors at 2560 X 1600 resolution. it's fast and beautiful. With the monitors turned off the CPU/Quadro combination only burns 50 watts. Monitor on and it's a different story...about 300 watts. My old setup (Intel 6600/Quadro 3700) burned 190 watts with monitors off.
