    Sealed - never used.

    PROFESSIONAL SERIES

    WORKSTATION GRAPHICS BOARD

    NVIDIA Quadro NVS 450 by PNY 512MB GDDR3 PCI Express

    MODEL: VCQ450NVS-X16-PB

    This board is fanless.
     
  2. Does it include cable ? What cables does it use looks hdmi
     
  3. $265 seems ambitious, given there are lots of working pulls with cables for $100- 150 on eBay. Of course, new condition is worth something -- if you're buying from a store where you can return it, rather than from an anonymous chatboarder. OP gives no indication of his "return policy."
     
  4. can you recommend a good 4 monitor card ?
     
  5. No, those are Display Ports (DP)
     
  6. Most of us wouldn't use a 4-port card for trading unless we didn't have a choice. If your mobo has 2, PCIEx16 slots, 2 dual-head cards are usually preferred.

    Nvidia's "NVS" quads have the best reputation, fewest problems.

  7. When the NVS 450 was in current production, you couldn't hardly get one for <$450. Not sure they were ever worth that much, but at the time it was about the only one in the market place.

    Passmarks on Nvidia NVS cards....

    NVS 450 = 93... quad, DP
    NVS 310 = 277... dual, DP
    NVS 315 = 332... dual, DMS59-DVI
    NVS 510 = 760... quad, mini DP

    None are high performance but more than adequate for trading. And if you desire to keep fan noise to a minimum, the NVS 450 (fanless) might be your only choice in a quad.

    FWIW...
