apology if posting at wrong board. the is the closest I can find.

thinking to buy a desktop with dual monitor capability. with limited budget, these two video cards are offered at the time computer is built. Price difference is only $10. Which one should I pick?

256MB PCIe x16 nVidia Quadro FX570, Dual Monitor DVI Capable
or
Dual 256MB PCIe x16 nVidia NVS 290, Dual Monitor DVI Capable

next level up will cost an additional $115...a bit too much. I never had a computer with dual monitor. this should be pretty cool.

Thanks in advance!

 

moved to the right forum.

 

Quadro FX570 is the better card

 

^^what he said, but i notice it says "dual 256MB PCIe x16 nVidia NVS 290" do you mean 2? or was that just a typo?

 

Are these Desktop graphics cards or Workstation graphics cards? because you'd really want something with a 512MB onboard memory
