Complex scenes and lighting that would have otherwise crashed my previous equipment are no problem for this card. Cons: Not much. It was a little tricky to get the X Server settings configured but even a Linux newb like myself was able to overcome it handily. Other Thoughts: Running this card in my "budget" workstation:CentOS 5.3Core I7 950ASUS P6T Deluxe V212 GB Corsair DDR3Corsair 750W PS2x WD Caviar Black 640 GB in Raid 0Quadro FX 1800Currently running two displays with this card, one in 1920x1080 and the other in 1280x1024. from Newegg.com Pros: I have 5 Dell 690's that were all equipped with the FX3450's. We recently upgraded the OS in these machines to Vista 64 so that we could run SolidWorks 2009 SP4.0 64bit. from Newegg.com Pros: Installation was a breeze with windows 7 x64, drivers were automatically detected and installed. Nvidia website also has the drivers for windows 7 available for download. from Newegg.com this is a huge improvement over my previous video card, i also have the ati radeon hd2600 pro, which is a gaming card. cannot compare rendering in after effects cs4 with the ati compared with the fx1800. from Amazon.com 64 whole stream processors! YAY! Cons: This card does not benefit the typical video editor/aspiring video editor who is not running 3-d or animation plug-ins. You don't need it. from Newegg.com this is a huge improvement over my previous video card, i also have the ati radeon hd2600 pro, which is a gaming card. cannot compare rendering in after effects cs4 with the ati compared with the fx1800. from Amazon.com Pros: I have 5 Dell 690's that were all equipped with the FX3450's. We recently upgraded the OS in these machines to Vista 64 so that we could run SolidWorks 2009 SP4.0 64bit. from Newegg.com Pros: Installation was a breeze with windows 7 x64, drivers were automatically detected and installed. Nvidia website also has the drivers for windows 7 available for download. This card, along with a core i7 and seagate 7200.12 harddrives is superior to my workstation machine running dual xeon processors (skt 771), a quadro FX 4500 gpu, and 15k RPM SAS harddrives. Solidworks 2009 x64 does not miss a beat even with full visualization on and real view graphics when opening a moderately complex assembly. from Newegg.com Pros: Newegg & Nvidia, of course. Installed without issue into Dell Precision 390 with 3 GB and XP Pro. from Newegg.com Pros: Quiet, cool and very dependable. Installing the drivers in Linux was mostly painless. Haven't yet encountered any incompatibility issues using this card and running Maya 2010 on CentOS 5.3The only time I have bogged this card down yet was with a 3+ million poly model with High Quality Rendering turned on, and it was still livable. Complex scenes and lighting that would have otherwise crashed my previous equipment are no problem for this card. from Newegg.com
