[Recommended display cards - UPDATED]

Just tested the new Nvidia Quadro K5000 with 4 full HD output, works properly. Now I am waiting for the Quadro Sync cards.

Hi Jonas,

 

I am in shock.

 

I thought that I can use all outputs of any card with V5. 

 

I didn't open the boxes of the cards yet. How we can learn how many of these 4 outputs will be active in V5 ?

 

I am setting up 4 new PC for a big event next week with 16 outputs.

 

I used W600, V7900, V8800 before. I was planning to go on with Firepro graphics card but Turkish distributor couldn't supply new W Series for 3 months. I found suppliers in Europe but I prefer to buy from Turkey because of guarantee issues. This distributor also supplies NVidia so I decided to go n with Nvidia. I paid almost %40 more than W8000 to these card.

 

So I need your help about this subject.

 

Then I can give these cards back and order W8000 from Germany.

 

Thanks.

 

Sedat.

I just bought 4 pcs Quadro K5000 with 4 output. Anybody used that card before ?

 

It is more expensive than Ati Firepro W8000 but in my country it is hard to find Firepro cards so I decided to go on with nVidia.

Of course this is not a Watchout issue, it is %100 a hardware failure, the fan of V7900 was not working. My concern is; as it is compressed to 1 slot may be there is already a cooling risk on that card.

I used Ati FirePro W600 graphics card, 6 Full HD outputs at the same time, no problems at all. As V9800 is many times more powerful then W600 I am sure it can easily handle 6 X 1080p output at the same time.

V7900 is a good card but last week it has caused to collapse the server during the event. When I open the chassis I saw that the card is very very hot because the fan is not working. I kept the chasis open and used a big fan to cool down the graphics card and finished the job like this.

 

No I plan to make an investment to the new W8000 + S400 sets. for V7900 it is good that it consumes only 1 slot but may be it cause cooling problem on that card because when you run 4 full HD outputs at the same time it gets very very hot, and cause the server to turn of itself.

I used two server with W600 graphics card for 12 Full HD LCD TV. Totally 12 outputs running 12 HD movies at the same time. No problem at all.
