PNY QUADRO P400 Graphic Card

Works great as a Plex transcoding card. Handles multiple 4k streams without issue

I needed a graphics card to add additional screens to my computer for trading. I am not a gamer. I originally had HDMI cords setup with the monitors and bough an HDMI adapter to connect it, so I didn't have to buy display port cables. I didn't think it would be a big deal since there were reviews that said it was ok. HMDI splitters were 4K as well. Easy installation and everything worked fine. However, when I opened my trading software the colors were bleached, faded, lines looked digital and showed multiple colors. After copious amounts of research, I noticed a lot of people complaining about the same issue. This was disappointing since this was the only thing I needed it for and of course it wasn't right. HDMI is more of a TV cable and won't register certain colors as fast. I disconnected all the wires, bought new display port cables, connected everything back and it worked. Colors and lines were clearer, and it made a big difference. Thankfully my monitor has HDMI and Display Port connections, otherwise I would have had to return the graphics card. Don't waste your time trying to fix it with Nvidia control panel; it won't work. Videos on YouTube were lagging as well with the HMDI cables, making it seem like my internet was slower. Everything is fixed and running fine now.

If you are looking to drive 3 monitors, then this will do the job just fine. While it is confusing to know weather or not to uninstall previous drivers or not, or if you need to change the BIOS setting, then my favorite answer to any question works just fine...."It all depends!"If you never had a video card before but were using the on-board video for your monitors, or like me was using 2 of my monitors for on-board and the 3rd was using a USB port to HDMI converter, then I think like me you will just shutdown, install the card and monitor cables and then restart Windows 10.For those that say it only works with 2 monitors, I would guess they had/have the same problem I did, which is don't use adapters with the cables and it will work just fine. HDMI to mini display port is the way to go.

I have 35 yrs of experience as a computer technician (among other computer-related tasks). This videocard works like a charm on my Dell PowerEdge T130 system running MX Linux 19.2.Some caveats in case you want to run this card on Linux:1. System BIOSA. Disable onboard videocardB. Do NOT allow memory remapping above 4 GB. (causes system lock-ups.2. Driver ChoicesA. Nouveau driver -- locked up my system a few times.B. MX Linux searched and installed latest tested driver. -- Works well.C. You can download and install Nvidia's latest driver via a shell script, BUT you have to boot into single-user mode and do some command line typing. No biggie.3. Notes.A. If VLC shows garbage while playing back H.265 video, you may have to change encoder selection.

I use this in a proxmox server to pass it to containers for transcoding. It has worked flawless for over a year. I really can’t speak to its other functionality but for a 1 slot sized card that can transcode hevc/h265 it is totally work it.

It does everything I want it to, and my only concern is the amount of graphics memory it has. A 4GB graphics card is likely the better option if you can find it, although this will play most video games that were made in 2017 or earlier.Keep in mind that Amazon does not have accurate information available about this card, at least not as I am writing this review. Look for the real specifications on PNY's official website.

Installed in my computer and 1 of 3 monitor ports did not work.Did not return, only needed 2 of the 3 ports.If one port dies then I may be in trouble.Inside package seam was broken when I opened.

Running 3 monitors, Photoshop is now happy with Directx 12 installed. Seems to be a great value, to boot!
