NVIDIA Quadro NVS 290

 

Or an NVS 285... more readily available and less expensive.

 

Dewton/ gnome

thanks very much for the speedy reply.

I assume it doesnt matter whether its a 64 or 128 ?

In other words if i can get a 64 it will be ok?

 

Yes. 64MB is plenty for trading.

 

Gnome

i am in the Uk.

Is this the correct card? It only looks like there is one display on it?

Yes. It has only 1 connector on the card but uses a DMS59 cable which is a "Y" with 2 ports... not the same as a "splitter" however.

That's a lot for that card. Can't you get one on eBay? Used would be OK.. they're very reliable.

This link always has them for $30, including shipping. Maybe for $40, they'll send one to the UK??

Great tip , just seen a few on ebay.

I owe you one.

Many thanks

 

A pint of Fat Tire would be nice..

 

Gnome, you are THE BEST!!!
