(OP)
what's the advantage of these kind of graphic cards in reall work on solidworks.
please tell me clearly.
Is it true that with this graphic card it's possible to use 2 monitor on solidworks , a monitor shows graphic area and another shows feature manager+propertymanager + ... ?

RE: nQuadro FX 2000 graphic cards

The only advantage to dual monitors that I can think of with Solidworks would be that you can have another application (perhaps even another version of SW) running on the second monitor.  I have used Dual Monitors many times in the past for MultiMedia, Video and Photo Editing but the only time I recall using it for Solid Works was while converting ACAD drawings.  I would have the ACAD drawing on one monitor Solidworks in the other.  This way I didn't have to flip back and forth.

Hello scott.
I saw that testing result you told me.
But there is just acceptable graphic cards for sw , not advantages.
I want to know what I will have if I pas 2000$ for a quadro FX2000 .. is it economical ?
Or I can obtain 90% of maximum performance of a quadro , only by paying 200$ for a geforce . because geforce is acceptable for solidworks in that test result.

Or the difference between a geforce and a quadro is just real view ! or just opening up to 15 windows in solidworks or so little advantages and huge difference in price.

RE: nQuadro FX 2000 graphic cards

A GF card is not a passing card and you will have a number of issues besides just a # of open windows. There will probably repaint issues, instability (crashes). You might be able to open an assembly well, but opening up the parts might be harder. That's what happens with my GF card on my home system. If you use a GF that isn't passing or in the green at SW. Then your Tech support person or anyone for that matter will blame the card and that is correct procedure. That's why that website is avialable to you to use. Did you notice at the top of the graphics card site that it tells you which is recommended and which is not recommended? It says that next to Certified and Tested.

Justifing the cost of $2000 for that Quadro should be basised on how complex your parts are (lots of helixes, surfaces, etc). The other reason I would consider that card is also basised on how complicated your assemblies are. If you build complex parts, then your assemblies would be complex too. If your assemblies are extremly large 5000+ parts, then I would also consider a higher end card.
