24" Monitors on Nvidia Quadro NVS 285's?

Quote from lilboy716:

lol, lower end gaming card

nvs285 is PCI-e x1

most pci express cards are x16.

16times performance by a function of the bus speed

That's true, but the video requirements of trading are such that there is no functional difference between x16 and x1.

If the mobo makers weren't trying to save a nickel here and there, ALL of the PCIE slots would be x16. (The x1, x4, & x8 slots are really kind of stupid, don't you think?) Then, the card makers could use any size connector or bandwidth they wanted.
 
1) there are plenty of your so-called gaming card with passive cooling...

2) how long is your video card's warranty?

3) priced right... paying up for non-performance is not a very wise choice



Quote from gnome:

Perhaps no significant display difference... but workstation cards (1) are passively cooled.. no noisy, cheesy fans (2) are built to last, and (3) are cheap, if bought used...

If your machine is for non-gaming, then workstation cards are a great choice. If you want "gaming + other", then you need the horsepower/heat/noisy fans of a gaming card.

NVS warranty is 3 years.

I don't know what to make of your #3, item... I don't see the relevance to the "gamer card vs. workstation card" argument.
 
you brought up the argument:

you could've spent more on the monitors instead of the video card

You like to argue, don't you.... even to the point of being frivolous. (And, just which argument did I bring up?) I spent about $50 total for 2 cards.... and I've got "Best in Class" display quality and performance.
 
i forgot, you bought them used.

back to your original post.

yes, you can run 24's on them, your video card's max digital resolution of 1920x1200 is sufficient for 2x24.

no, i have no tried them on NVS 285. because I would not pay that much money ($170 ish) for yesterday's technology (no offense)

for the same amount ($170), you can obtain a much better nvidia 8600gt fanless, which sports dual-dvi can drive 2 x 30 LCD (the xfx 8600gt fatality will)



Quote from gnome:

I was reading a Newegg review of a 24" Planar where he said, "takes one heck of a video card to run it"...

Anybody running 2 x 24"ers on NVS 285 PCIEx16? Runs well, no problems?

TIA

I know about the max DVI resolution... My original question was whether anyone had run 24's on a 285 card.... and if so, were there any problems? So far, it seems the answer is NO.
