NVIDIA Quadro K600 1GB DDR3 Graphics Card

Not very impressed with this card at all. We had a workstation in our office which was primarily running Adobe software (PS, AI, etc.) that was having a lot of rendering issues and crashing. We figured it was the ATI / Radeon card that came with the workstation, so we looked up Adobe's official list of supported cards and found this K600 on the list. Since we weren't doing any heavy-duty work (e.g. video production, 3D modelling, etc.) we figured this would run it. But we continued to have the similar problems... black boxes showing when you zoomed, etc. Was quite annoyed to see that this card was "officially" supported by Adobe yet didn't work. Upgraded the workstation to a gamer card - a GTX 660 and it worked like a charm. I'm not so sure I buy into the Quadro thing anymore. Maybe you need to buy the million dollar edition to get anything decent, but if you need this for something similar, save your money and get a GT660 or a decent gamer card.

I bought this card when I bought a 4K monitor and needed the 3840X2160 resolution. It has a display port and a DVI connector, and comes with a Displayport to DVI adapter short cable. I used a DVI-to-HDMI adapter with this short cable adapter thinking that the display port was the only 4K capable port. It did not work for 3840x2160@30Hz. However, when I hooked the HDMI cable with the DVI-to-HDMI adapter to the DVI port, it immediately recognized the monitor and started up at native resolution of the monitor! It runs well and my system check app. says that its processor(s) runs at about 43 degrees C, which is quite lower than 60 degrees that another laptop controller in our lab reports! I am pleased with it, and the price was also reasonable. I have just bought two more for another pair of UHD monitors!

A good basic card, but the capability and range is disappointing for the price. Would have been nice to have some basic instructions included.

The Nvidia k600 is a great entry level graphics card for CAD and photography work. It also works well for simulations for CAM toolpaths. It probably would not do well for very large CAD assemblies or complex simulation. The other good thing is the price is right. The next step up in an Nvidia Quadro card is twice the price of the K600.I use this with SolidWorks and Pro E CAD systems and photoshop Lightroom 4 and 5 and it has worked flawlessly.I would recommend this card for its stated purpose as an entry level CAD/CAM graphics card.

About 1 in 5 times I boot I get a black screen. No curser no nothing. What do you do then. Shutting down becomes a real problem. According to the internet it's a known problem with this card. The weird thing is this is a replacement for the EXACT same card that the PC came with and I had no trouble with the original. DON'T BUY THIS CARD. There is no support from anyone. I've tried several recommended drivers and none have solved my problem. Yet
