Questions & Answers

Is there a set of three mini dp to dp adapters included with this card? Although the pny website claims it does, is it clear on Amazon that it does?

Yes, three, and it drives three 1080p monitors without issue on a workstation with no high graphic demands.

What is the distinction between the V1 and the V2?

I didn't see the original thread, but when it comes to nonlinear editing, V1 is usually the main or base video source on your timeline, while V2/3/4 is for B-roll. roll, graphics, or anything else you want to include in your visual story, e.g. Dissolves, fades, and lower thirds, among other things

Is there any way to tell the difference between the Quadro P400 and the Quadro P400 v2?

The main difference I see is that the v1 card has a maximum power output of 40 watts, while the v2 has a maximum power output of 30 watts.

Selected User Reviews For PNY Quadro P400 Graphic Card

It's deceiving to have only three outputs
4/5

Although this is a good product, all three video outputs cannot be used at the same time. The maximum number of people who can be in the same room at the same time is two.

Nvidia Quadro NVS 295 has been reinstalled

Update for the Long Term (November 2021): br>The slot bracket turned blue because it was so hot.

It's ideal for a Plex Server on a shoestring budget
5/5

I bought this card to use with Plex to encode HD streams. After installing the card, there was no longer any need to peg the CPU.

It is compatible with Ubuntu 20
5/5

Nvida Driver 440 and 04 are two of the most popular graphics cards on the market. This (VCQP400-) was purchased by me. To replace an AMD V7900 that had died, I bought a PB) card. I'm using it on a Dell T5500 workstation with three monitors, two of which are in landscape mode and one of which is in portrait mode. DisplayPort cables are used to connect all three monitors. Because the card is so small, I had to use the taller bracket that came with it to mount it. Both the length and height of the card are short. br>br>Because the card is low-power, it does not require a separate 6/8-pin power cable. br>br>The card can support three monitors at the same time. The card also came with three miniDP to DP adapters, which aren't visible in the V1 images. Only the images for the V2 version show the adapters at the time of writing. I'd rather not use adapters, but getting standard DisplayPort connectors would necessitate purchasing a much more expensive card. Because the mini connectors lock into the back, I expect these to work fine, with the exception of the reliability issues that come with having more connections. br>br>The only issue I encountered during setup was getting the portrait monitor to work. With the portrait monitor, the Ubuntu display settings tool would not work. Either the monitor was turned off or it was set to landscape mode. Using the Nvidia X Server Settings tool, I was able to solve the problem. I'm not a gamer, so I can't comment on performance, but playback in Kdenlive (a non-gaming application) is excellent. HTML5 rendering in browsers also appears to be a little faster with the Intel card than with the AMD card. The seller was Amazon. br>br> There were no issues with delivery or packaging.

It's unusual to install a driver in a Linux environment
5/5

I used Ubuntu 18LTS to install this board for CAD. Because the UBUNTU drivers for the board do not work, you must use the Nvidia drivers instead. The installer from Nvidia is far from perfect. It's effective, but it's not immediately apparent. It also doesn't update the /etc/default/grub file, so if you change it, the driver will vanish and you'll be stuck with 640x480. The problem can be solved by reinstalling the driver, but Nvidia should update the system files so that changing Grub does not obliterate their driver.

The jury is still out on this card, but it's exactly what I'm looking for: not for gaming, but to run three large monitors in the office I occasionally have a day when one of my monitors fails
3/5

For one second, the light flashes on and off, then stays on for another 30 seconds. The cables have been replaced, and the monitors have been switched. I would get a different card, but I don't need an $800 liquid cooled gaming card, so I might try the P620 instead. Alternately, the cables could be replaced once more. Who knows what will happen. Every company accuses the other of being to blame. It is amazing when it works at 100%, and I run three large Dell monitors at UHD, so just 4K.

It was very easy to install, and there were no display or color issues, so it's a fantastic product
5/5

I had no trouble installing it on my Dell Optiplex 7010 Intel Core i5-based computer. @ 3. 3570 GHz Windows 7 (64 bits) with a 4 GHz processor and 16 GB of memory. Before installing the new video card, I uninstalled the video driver first, then installed the CD driver and rebooted the computer. The Nvidia Control Panel is very easy to follow and configure the monitors if needed, and you're up and running without any display or color issues.
