Hello to all

I use a HP xw4400 Workstation running W7.

I tried to download the W10 browser, but a message indicate that the Nvidia Quadro NVS 285 is insufficient for the download.

Can someone please advise me on alternative Cards for upgrading ?.

Thank you.

MSI GeForce GT 720 DirectX 12 N720-1GD3HLP 1GB 64-Bit DDR3 PCI Express 2.0 x16 HDCP Ready Video Card = $35

MSI kicked off its entry-level GeForce GT 720 lineup with as many as four models, two each of 1 GB and 2 GB, being fan-cooled, and passive-cooled. All four stick to NVIDIA reference clock speeds of 797 MHz core, and 1600 MHz DDR memory. Based on NVIDIA's entry-level GK208 silicon (Kepler architecture), the GT 720 features 192 CUDA cores, and a 64-bit wide DDR3 memory interface. All four cards launched by MSI are half-height and single-slot. All four feature dual-link DVI, HDMI, and D-Sub display outputs.

DVI = Max Resolution: 2560 x 1600 @60 Hz
HDMI 1.4a = Max Resolution: 4096x2160 @24 Hz

If you want something with more GPU horsepower in the $50-75 range, it's better to go used. Or I have a BNIB MSI GTX750 1GB that I can sell you for a good price. However, if you just need a basic card for 2D, then the card I linked is more than enough.

Do you need a workstation class card for any reason? If not, the 720 would work fine. If you do, you're probably looking at spending $100 on something like a Quadro 315 or the (much faster) K420 @ $110
