nVidia Quadro NVS

nVidia Quadro NVS

nVidia Quadro NVS

(OP)
I just got a new computer at work, and they are using the Quadro NVS graphics cards.  I have only had experience with the Quadro FX series.  Does this card work well with SW, or am I in for some trouble?

I did look on the SW website, but did not find any information, has this card even been tested with SW?

Thanks

RE: nVidia Quadro NVS

This is the only card that is not support by SW. The Quadro NVS is basically used for stocker brokers, because you can have to 4 monitors running off the card, to watch stocks. Replace this card with a different one that supports PCI Express... I say that because I believe the NVS is a PCI express card.

Contact your VAR and they will tell you the same.

RE: nVidia Quadro NVS

I had an NVS an yes you are in trouble.  The NVS I had was not PCI express but I suggest swapping that card out soon.  It will work but it will bring everything to a crawl and then you will have to shut down and restart just to clear it out.

RE: nVidia Quadro NVS

Yes, from what I hear, you are in trouble.

I am not to familiar with the NVS line, but it seems they are little more than a rebranded GeForce.  I think they are optomized for 2d display.  They are NOT meant for 3d-CAD applications.  From what I have heard, they perform very much like a GeForce in SWX (in other words, they will slow to a crawl after a few windows are opened up).

The only nvidia cards that SWX fully supports are the real Quadros (NOT THE NVS!).  This is quite a shame as the 'Quadro NVS' nomenclature has produced confusion.  

RE: nVidia Quadro NVS

THey shouldn't have named it a Quadro, but rather GeForce NVS instead.

THe customer I dealt with had an Quadro NVS PCI Express card. I wasn't aware that made some that were not PCI Express.

yes, the NVS card I have is AGP.

I just started this job a few weeks ago, and this computer is a huge upgrade to the first one I had (1gig of ram over 512meg, Xeon 2.8 over a P3 1gig)  I know how important it is to have a supported card.  Now I have to find out what cards our other users have.

By the way, Scott, I just found out you must be our VAR (3DVision, that it)
