Hi Andreas,

the older quadro 600 (with 96 CUDA cores) features a dual Link DVI-I (do not know why they did not call it DVI-D) but if I look at the specs, NVIDIA tries to suggest (?) the k600 features a DVI-I only. No mentioning it is dual-link. It would not make sense being single-link in the first place but make sure before you buy the new k600 (with 196 CUDA cores) it is really a dual-link DVI-I i.e. DVI-D. Some vendors state for the k600, 1x DisplayPort, 1x Dual Link DVI-I (Software)... Do not know what "software" exactly means at this point because I have never seen that before. For the more expensive cards (2000 and up) NVIDIA state they have a DVI-D and a DVI-I. Probably they are trying to confuse us to make us buy the more expensive models..

[log in to unmask]" type="cite">I second everything Jeroen said except the need for a €450 graphics card.  We have a Quadro 600, which was only £105 or something like that.  The slightly cheaper Quadro 400 would have worked as well.  There are now successors to these cards.  Unless something has changed in their specification, they should work with the monitor with built-in emitter.  Others can comment on that.

Best regards.

Dear all,

We are looking into ordering a stereo monitor. I am aware that this
question comes up every so often on this BB (and I read the post by
Alice), but maybe someone has any comments or recent experience with
passive vs. active monitors?

And: Which graphics card can you recommended? The monitor will be used
with Linux and Windows, so support of the correspoding graphics card
with both systems is required.

Thanks and best wishes,

Tobias.
