Quadro4 280 NVS vs Matrox G450

[Acts837]

Can't complain but ... I bought what was suppose to be a Matrox G450 off of eBay and it came today. Messed with it for two hours and finally found out it wasn't a Matrox card. It is a brand new OEM NVIDIA Quadro NVS 280 8x AGP specs are:

Graphics chipset NVIDIA Quadro4 280NVS
Graphics data width 128
Video RAM type SDRAM
Video RAM std 64 MB
Video RAM max 64 MB
Max resolution (with std video RAM) 2048x1536 16777216 colors
Max resolution (with max video RAM) 2048x1536 16777216 colors
Max colors (with max video RAM) 16777216
Max colors (with std video RAM) 16777216
Graphics bus interface AGP 8X

Should I send it back? Seems like I might have gotten a deal at $36 even though the auction said Matrox G450. No gaming here, bought the card for 2d quality and it seems to be very nice.

the moral thing to do is to notify the guy of his shipping error. a quadro4 is a whole lot better/more expensive than a g450.

keep it

nice smart thing to do would be to keep it... stupid me would probably email the dude telling him of the error... damn guilty conscious

If all you care about is 2D, i would imagine the G450 would be better than the Nvidia. I use to have a G450, and it was amazing in 2D. But yeah, i would let him know about the mistake and what he wants to do about it.
