NVIDIA Quadro K5000 4GB GDDR5 GPU Memory Graphics Card for Mac VCQK5000MAC-PB

I built a high-end graphics workstation for my daughter who is a senior in college majoring in graphics arts. After months of research, weighing price and features of NVIDIA vs.the competition, I decided to go NVIDIA. I run a team that provides modeling and simulation services to the government. All our machines use NVIDIA Quadro cards. All my technicians swear by them. I consulted other professionals and they universally recommended the Quadro series for workstation applications, mostly because of the drivers. That is the big difference with NVIDIA Quadros, their drivers. I then had to decide how much pain to endure in terms of price. I was afraid the 600-series cards would not be powerful enough for life after college and the 4,000 series prices are just cost prohibitive for me personally. As it is, this card was the single most expensive part of the build. Having said all that, I could not be more pleased. The performance on the Autodesk software my daughter uses is outstanding. No hesitation even with her most demanding 3D animation products. I didn't know much about drivers, but there are more to the Quadro drivers than just making the card work. The features and flexibility you get are unmatched in anything you would experience on your average PC. The ability to create multiple virtual desktops for your different process applications is very useful. My daughter can now have a series of applications open and diaplayed on her dual-monitor rig with a set of views for animation, another for photo editing, another for writing, all by loading the desired profile. All the apps load and the displays pop up in the precise location she wants them, all by selecting a saved profile. Buying this card was a good decision and research pays off. Building a workstation for professional use is much different than building a system for home use or gaming. Lastlyy, I had no issues whatsoever installing the card or installing the software/drivers. It worked perfectly the first time I pushed the power button.

I bought this video card for 3D production (modeling and sculpting) and although there are better options available this is a great video card for someone on a budget looking to do modeling . This is NOT a gaming card and you will not be pleased with its performance if that is your intended use. This product has been designed to optimize the viewport of 3D applications and it offers stellar performance for this (considering it is a 2 GB card) as well as having rock solid stability (no crashes). Additionally, it is a low profile card which means it runs at a low temperature which in turn improves stability of all other components in your system and it also has a relatively low power consumption. Great product overall and I am pretty happy with it.

Quick Pros: It works great; easy install; GREAT support (John). Quick Cons: First two cards were defective; almost gave up on them. At Christmas I built my wife a new computer with a lot of power and this specialized card she needs for 3D graphics work. I spent a lot of time researching the cards that were compatible with the software, and then cross-referencing them with the prospective motherboards to be as certain as possible that the build would go off without a hitch. The 1st K2000 was DOA. Computer wouldn't even boot with it installed. A week later, with the replacement card installed, the video was crummy and I couldn't install the drivers. I sent that card back for a refund, hesitant to order a third. A couple of days later I called PNY mainly to see if there was a known problem with a recent batch. John, possibly the best tech support guy I have ever spoken with, said there was not and listened carefully to the problems I had. He felt that he probably could have helped me through the aborted driver install on the second card, and promised that if I purchased a third card he would be available to assist me if needed. He also gave me some hints. The conversation with John restored my confidence in PNY so I ordered another card. It arrived Monday and the driver installed with ease. So, the PNY was not without it's trials and tribulations, but I find that's pretty well normal with electronics. Last build I had to send memory sticks back and forth for a while. As Roseanne Rosanna Danna used to say, "It's always something." The two important things to take from this are: 1) Buy from Amazon and send it back if it's defective; 2) PNY support was outstanding and that's really, really important.

My workstation has 3 DVI monitors: two 2560x1600 and one 1600x1200, and I'm doing some 3D work in AutoCAD, so regular video card is not good enough, because it will not render 3D objects correctly in AutoCAD. Before this card I was using two FX 570 cards. FX 570 are good cards, but they are 6 years old, so I wanted to upgrade to something faster and also I want to have one card (not two), which will drive all 3 monitors. By having only one card I will save in power usage too. Because all nVidia cards prior to Kepler series were only capable to drive 2 monitors I was forced to go to K2000. K2000 is the cheapest Quadro card which can drive 3 monitors. You can ask: why nVidia, not AMD? I've tried AMD. The cheapest AMD card which can drive 3 monitors is V4800. I've bought it and also bought 2 Active DisplayPort to DualLink DVI adapters (Bizlink). On paper V4800 should be capable to drive 3 DVI monitors using active DisplayPort to DualLink DVI adapters, but I was not able to make it work. Two monitors were fine with AMD card, but I want 1 card, not two. I've tried different drivers and different configuration (Spend several days trying to change drivers and switch monitors and cables and adapters). Sometimes after reboot it will drive 3 monitors, but after 10 min or so it will drop 3rd monitor without any reason and even reboot will not help. I don't know why AMD claimed they support 3 DVI motors, it was not working for me. May be it was my specific V4800 card, but I don't want to buy one more card and end up with the same result. After struggling with AMD, I've decided to try nVidia, but because I want only 1 video card, my cheapest choice was K2000. I was preparing to fight with nVidia too, because of the bad experience with AMD. To my surprise nVidia K2000 worked without any issue at all. Just plug and play. So now I have one card which drives 3 DVI monitors One 2560x1600 monitor using DVI output directly One 2560x1600 monitor using DisplayPort through active DispalyPort to DVI output adapter One 1600x1200 monitor using DisplayPort through Active DispalyPort to DVI output adapter. Also all my 3 DualLink DVI cables are very long 50' (cables are from monoprice (item 2185), because my workstation is in the garage, but monitors are in the office. May be my long cables were a reason why 3 DVI monitors did not work with V4800, but 2 monitors were fine with long cables on V4800. By moving from two FX 570 cards to K2000 I've saved about 40W of power consumption or about 20$ per year. (I'm assuming I'm using workstation for about 12 hours per day) April 30, 2014: After couple of days DualLink DVI monitor from DisplayPort disaapered in the same way as V4800. After some trouble shutting, and swapping DisplayPort to DVI adapter K2000 started working again, but after 3 hours it happens again, I've just rebooted computer and now for 2 days it is working again in the highest resolution. So I've decreased rating to two stars from 3 stars after disappearance of the third monitor. But the third monitor disappeared differently on nVidia then on AMD. If I will decrease resolution, it will continue working, but in AMD case nothing will resurrect monitor. May 29, 2014 After using this card for a month, I've added one star back (3 star card) One monitor 3007WFP disappeared (went blank scree) several times, but I found way to fix it: I put both my 3007WPF monitors on DisplayPorts, after doing that 3007WPF monitors will stop disappearing, even putting them back was easy, just changing resolution twice: to 1280x800 and back to 2560x1600. May be a reason for monitor disappearance is a combination of long cables 50' and an old Dell monitor: 3007WFP. Because after adding Dell U3011 it will not disappear. Now I connected three 30" dell monitors to this card. U3011 to DVI connector and two 3007WFP to Display ports. Display port connectors have active DisplayPort to DVI adapters and there are 50" DVI cable to drive U3011 and two 3007WPF monitors. Before if one of the 3007WFP monitors were on DVI it will go blank after some time, but this problem is not happening with U3011. Probably signal was too week for 3007WFP, but fine for U3011. Jan 19, 2015 For several months my setup with 3 x 30" monitors is running fine. U3011 on Dual Link DVI and both 3007WFP on display ports with active DisplayPort to Duallink DVI converters. And all three monitors are on 50' dual link dvi cable from Monoprice. Occasionally once in 2 months on wake up from a sleep mode one 3007WFP monitor will show double pictures, but changing resolution to 1280 x 800 and back to 2560 x 1600 will fix this issue.

This card replaced a GeForce 6200 LE. After 22 years of use, I was overdue for a replacement. The Quadro supports DisplayPort MST at minimal cost, along with not needing to upgrade my power supply, or worry about my house burning down if I used said expensive card.

After ordering the two of these which were banged around pretty bad in shipping due to Amazon's poor packing practices, the third one was ordered from TigerDirect and guess what, Did NOT Work. It would not be recognized by my system. I bought this because it's the recommended card type for design applications. Although reviews were few and mixed, Newegg had a very impresssive video with an Nvidea representative. I have since bought an MSI GTX 760 gaming card which was also stated via reviews to work for design as well as gaming. NOTE, I have an MSI Z87 G45 gaming card and decided to use the same brand GPU. It has crossed my mind that maybe it was simply incompatible with the motherboard, but since the new card went in, so far screaming fast, crystal clear performance make me think not... Anyway, I will do more research as I am still curious what happened.

Performs exactly as expected. I can edit videos with no problems. It was easy to install and makes my job easy.

I use this card for Autodesk Maya. I finally upgraded from my old Quadro 600 that worked good, but was looking for more performance. This card delivers. It's definitely pricier than consumer cards, but works well when you use 3D design programs or even Photoshop. I don't own a Quadro 4000, but looking at the specs, the K2000 is similar with more CUDA cores at half the price (win-win). So far the only down side is early driver issues. 30 bit color no longer works in Maya, and the Force 10-bit mode in the driver causes both Photoshop and Maya to crash. That's very disappointing, since that's why I wanted a card with two displayport outputs to drive my 30 bit enabled primary monitor and displayport only second monitor. However, like I've seen with the 600, drivers are updated frequently by NVidia, so I'm confident they'll get support up and running especially with their certified drivers. Unless you need the extra performance or two displayport outputs, the K600 can be had at less than half the cost and still has good performance, making it a better value in my opinion.

Scheda video di medio livello, consigliato su workstation per uso progettazione CAD 2D/3D... permette di connettere fino a 3 monitor con gli adattatori forniti... Consiglio prima di acquistare, verificare la compatibilità sul datasheet del proprio PC

The elusive Quadro card at 4X the price of an Nvidea GTX gaming card was a tough call. Yes my GTX 650 TI card seems to have the same or better dynamic frame rate that the Quadro. Where is the value? Half of it is in the software drivers, optimized for very razor crisp CAD lines. Some CAD software also turns on a few extra reflections in the material shading. This card only consumes about 55W so you do not need to upgrade to a high power gaming PSU, and yet somehow it can run 4 monitors--wow. A very stable card.

La instale y comencé a trabajar, llego muy rápido

Brauchte die Auflösung für KOORUI 34. Funktioniert einwandfrei.

Leider in Unkenntnis der Bezeichnungen von pny die alte Karte gekauft. Später für weniger Geld eine p2200 gekauft.
