💻 PNY Quadro P400 Graphics Card Review

Ships in a sealed manufacturer's NVidia Quadro box with full-height and low-profile brackets and three mini-DP to DP adapters per box . Installed and everything worked. Not intended for gaming, but ideal for managing multiple high-resolution workstation monitors. Why pay more for a playing card if you are not a player?

This is a great product. I had no problems installing it on my Dell Optiplex 7010 with 3.4GHz Intel Core i5-3570 processor and 16GB Windows 7 (64bit) memory.

A pain in the southernmost region to work out the ffmpeg commands to complete the task, but once that was done there was a huge speed improvement. FYI:=============# Create a "HWtranscode" function function HWtranscode() { for f in *.ts; # nividia hardware transcoding do ffmpeg -hwaccel cuvid -i "$f" -vcodec h264_nvenc -profile:v 2 -g 30 -qp 26 -c:a ac3 "${f%.ts}.mp4 "; done}============= As far as using it as a graphics card, it seems…

I bought this card (VCQP400-PB) to replace a dead AMD V7900. I'm using it on a Dell T5500 workstation with 3 monitors, two in landscape and one in portrait. All three monitors are connected with DisplayPort cables. The card is small so I had to use the larger bracket that came with it to mount it. The map is small in length and height. The card has low power consumption and does not require an additional 6/8-pin power cable. The card supports 3 monitors at the same time. In addition, three…
