Hello People: I need a new graphics card for an older system (PCIE-1.0). I don't game, do graphics, rendering, etc. so don't need high end - just a good workstation unit that supports OpenGL, good color accuracy, and draws square squares :) Occasional DVD's are probably about the most GPU intensive use the system sees. Noisy fans and failed fan bearings are a drag, so passive cooling is a plus, but not always a must as long as the card doesn't make the box sound like a hovercraft.
So I thought I'd consult that newly created HCL wiki and was pleased to note the Quadro 600 is "officially supported". The Quadro 600's price point is attractive but otherwise I don't know much about it, as it's relatively new unit. So I've a question for Mr. Mays; is the 600 your daily driver, and if so, how do you like it?. Also, the nVidia 256.44 driver's support many, many cards, yet only 4 models are listed. I'm curios why this might be? Shouldn't pretty much any of the cards supported by those drivers work? Or is this list just a sample of stuff that's actually been tested by the OI community? I'm not very familiar with nVidia's line and welcome suggestions. Thanks bunches. -- Ken Gunderson <[email protected]> _______________________________________________ OpenIndiana-discuss mailing list [email protected] http://openindiana.org/mailman/listinfo/openindiana-discuss
