Graphics card

I've just been given a graphics cards , model 1GB Dedicated Nvidia Quadro K600 Graphics with HDMI displayport and DIV-I port on it.

I'd like to install it in a windows 10 desktop to support dual monitors, but cannot find any reference to it

Any advice would be appreciated (the applications used are Office email and chrome).

Re: Graphics card

You don't say what connectors your monitors have, so this is generic.
You can usually connect 2 different monitors to the 2 outputs, or if the dvi port is dual you can get a splitter to supply 2 dvi monitors.
If you have only vga connectors on the monitors then you need to look at dvi-vga & display port-vga adapters. Unless you have the vga connector cable.

I use an hdmi-vga and vga outputs to supply my 2 monitors. Once you have the hardware connected then it should be picked up automatically.

Re: Graphics card

@HB thanks, monitors have dvi, hdmi and VGA (3 ports).

So it should work and find the monitors automatically?

Re: Graphics card

Get a dual headed dvi cable and it should be fine. Or a splitter one.
The card has a dual dvi connector and can support 2 monitors on the dvi.

Re: Graphics card

Not sure what is built in to W10 to assist managing desktop backgrounds as I only have W10 on my laptop but on my PC I use Multiwall which is excellent at allowing you to have the same picture across two or more monitors.

Re: Graphics card

On my setup I have the same background on both monitors but different apps on each.
Same as I have on my Linux setup. (only using different apps ;-))

Re: Graphics card

1 gig on board memory isn't much now.

And the card is designed for CAD and 3D work, not 2D desktop and 3D gaming.



Still:



"Chipset: NVIDIA Quadro K600

Bus: PCI-Express 2.0 x16

Video Memory: 1GB DDR3

Memory Bandwidth:?29.0 GB/s

Memory Interface: 128-bit



Connectors: DVI-I, Display Port"



As a freebie, not bad. The nvida website has drivers for it, last updated driver is 2014.
