Purchased "Used - Like New" PNY Technologies NVIDIA Quadro NVS 450 board and cables only. There was one offered for $40 less without cables. There are both active and passive DisplayPort to DVI adapters. To ensure that I got the correct cables ordered the one with cables.Cables======Four Hewlett-Packard - 481409-001 - DisplayPort to DVI Adapter cables were included with NVS 450 graphics board. Markings on cables: HPK-481409-001(A) VER 3 FOXCONN 1045. The best price that I could find for similar cables was more than the $40 that I paid for them with the graphics board. The NVS450 has two GPUs. Install the cables as stamped under the card connectors which is 1-4-2-3. Monitor Cable 1 goes to GPU 1. Skip a connector then attach Monitor Cable 2 to GPU 2. Monitor Cable 3 goes to the next connector which is also GPU 2. Monitor cable 4 goes to GPU 1. Using this arrangement Monitor 1 will have its own GPU if you install up to 3 monitors.Note that the DisplayPort connectors have two pins on the bottom that lock the connectors in place once they have been inserted. A button on the bottom of the connectors retract the pins so the connectors can be removed. The connectors can be inserted without pushing the button and the buttons are hiddend from view once the connectors are inserted.CD==No CD or instructions were included, so downloaded and installed XP driver - 270.71 - 32 bit - English - WHQL - Release date 5/4/201 from PNY.com. Drive and nView installed without problems. Also downloaded and printed User's Manual. The PDF [...]_v1.pdf is the downloadable User's gude for the PNY Nvidia Quadro Nvs 450. Downloaded from NVIDIA.com .XP driver - 270.73 32 bit. It too installed without problems.Attempts to install any of the XP drivers 275.36, 275.65, and 275.89 from NVIDIA.com resulted in installation failure for driver and nView. Before each attempt uninstalled driver, nVIEW, and used Custom Installation with box checked to "Perform a clean installation". Tried from Administrator login but still failed. Running the install with log output showed Error: "0x80070005 - Access is denied."Microsoft knowledge base KB867466 described a similar error caused by security permissions for CMD.EXE in WINDOWS/SYSTEM32 folder. Increased permission to Full Control and ran install again from Administrator login. Driver 275.89 (the latest at this time) and nView 135.85 installed successfully.BIOS====Received NVS 450 with BIOS 62.98.43.00.07. Found that HP website had utility for installing BIOS 62.98.6E.00.09 with enhancements:- Adds support for the Microsoft Windows 7 Ultimate Edition Operating System (32-bit).- Adds support for the Microsoft Windows 7 Ultimate Operating System (64-bit) on select Workstation models.- Updates the VBIOS to change the BAR1 size to 64MB.- Adds support for additional video memory components.Could not find if there were any other enhancements with other upgrades between BIOS 62.98.43.00.07 and 62.98.6E.00.09.From the BIOS update documentation concluded that BIOS upgrade should work on my system even though I do not have a HP workstation. Since I plan to upgrade from XP Pro to Windows 7 soon, ran upgrade that installs under Windows. No problems encountered with BIOS upgrade.COOLING=======QUADRO NVS 450 does not have a fan on its heatsink. It runs hot to touch. Installed Antec Spot Cool 3 speed fan. See shared images for Quadro NVS 450. Nvidia Quadro Nvs 450 PCIE16 512MB GDDR3 4PORT To Dvi CableOPERATION=========I run three SAMSUNG 1920x1200 monitors connected to the QUADRO NVS 450 digital inputs. The newest is a 2443BWT-1 24-Inch LCD Monitor. The three monitors are rotated to give a desktop size of 3600x1920. My system is used for real-time charting and programming. I never run games.All three monitors were available in the desktop on boot of Windows. Noticed that desktop was not extended to my least used monitor at times. Checked Power Options and set "Turn off Monitor" to "Never" fixed it.IMPRESSIONS===========Like having all three monitors on one graphics card.Like nVIEW and expect that it will be even better with Windows 7.Heavily discounted price was reasonable when consider that it replaces two cards.Hardware and software running without any problems.

Well I wanted to get my quad display going. I am configuring my somewhat older system for mostly stock market charts, and 1 live video capture (PCI Sat card). My original idea was to just purchase another cheap display adapter for the second unused slot on my mainboard. My mainboard is a GIGABYTE P67A-UD3 and there is 2 PCIe x16 slots, so I made good om my original idea. I bought a new shiny, and very cheap AMD HiS graphics adapter with dual outputs to go along side my old trusty Nvidia Galaxy 8800GT adapter (that also has dual HDMI outputs). Everything worked fine for about a 5 minutes then -low and behold. I kept getting- AMD driver just recovered from a terrible, terrible, error, but fixed itself in the knick off time, so relax -everything is under control message, or something like that :-0. After a while it was bringing my system down hard when I would move a window around to another display, sometime just maximizing a window. I spent a day updating drivers and stuff. Rather then spend a week trying to continue to find the problem, and risk corrupting data on my drives; I just pulled the AMD HiS display adapter out, and ordered this one. I ordered one at a discount, so when I received the box it did not come with the adapters for the the vga/hdmi port to display port. Next I drove a hour to the computer store and bought 4 HDMI to display port adapters. Guess what, it was not a corded adapter, but fixed with a wide section for the HDMI to plug into- kinda like a usb stick with one large end. Currently I can only plug 2 of these adapters in because they overlap and conflict with each other. So the heck with it, I can plug in only 2 adapters right now for 2 monitors, or I can buy the proper adapters that has a cord, so a person can plug 4 monitors into 4 display ports on the 1 display adapter card like this product is intended for. One other thing to mention, if you have any of those VGA to HDMI adapters and plug that adapter into another adapter namely a HDMI to display port adapter- your display might not work, mine didn't, but windows 7 OS claims otherwise. Currently I have left the Nvidia NVS 450 in the first slot, and I put my old trusty Nvidia 8800GT card down below it. I can say my system is running fine, the two Nvidia cards are not fighting each other, and I can drag windows around with out the system hanging and crashing. 3 Monitors are large LED displays (LG E2041) and of same size, the other one is a a very large LCD (Acer P223W). The temperature of the NVS 450 card is 67C, that's with the PC side case cover open, and the AC on in my room. There is no cooling fan on this adapter, its dead silent which is nice. So I guess I am happy so far, Win7 installed its own Nvidia driver with out a hitch, so I am not going to mess with it or install extra stuff. This device shows up as being 2 display adapters in your windows devices tab. I am guessing 1 GPU serves two display ports, and there is two GPU's on the adapter. According to my APC UPS software- my system is drawing the same amount of power, which is weird being that I have two display adapters running(one of them being power hungry) from just the one before.Conclusion- I am just using 2 displays for this adapter with identical monitors at the moment until I order the correct HDMI to Display port adapters. And lastly and most importantly this beats that dud AMD Hi5 card (dual outputs) that almost made my system broken. I can't stand trouble shooting things at the bios level, or hardware conflicts. Power on, power off, hard reset, power on, force power off, turn off power supply, pull memory, start pulling things out, change bios settings....... You all know the drill :-) No conflicts that I noticed so far, and a stable system. The 1 sheet instruction that came in the box only mentions XP and Vista. With Windows 8 about to be released Nvidia might want to think about updating this card. Hope you liked my review. Time to get down to business. woooopy

I used this board in conjunction with the NVIDIA Quadro NVS 295 video card to drive a 6 monitor workstation for data analysis purposes. The Quadro NVS 450 can support 4 monitors at 1920 x 1200 resolution at 24 bits color with no problem under Ubuntu 12.1. Decent desktop performance, video playback is quite acceptable. No 3D capabilities so it's not going to play your video games all that well. One star off for being a bit expensive ($400). I guess the multiple monitor card market is underserved so it seems NVIDIA is marking the price high due to lack of any significant competition.
