The HP NVIDIA Quadro NVS 280 64MB DDR Graphics Card (HP Part Number: 398686-001) is a low-profile, legacy enterprise video adapter engineered for multi-display business environments and industrial workstation maintenance. Powered by NVIDIA's NV34 architecture with a 250 MHz core clock and 64MB of DDR memory on a 64-bit bus, this card delivers steady 2D rendering and reliable multi-monitor desktop management for legacy HP and Compaq enterprise desktop systems.
Designed specifically for systems requiring standard legacy PCI expansion, the Quadro NVS 280 features a single DMS-59 flex connector. Utilizing a DMS-59 breakout Y-splitter cable, the card drives two independent analog or digital displays simultaneously at resolutions up to 2048 x 1536 (VGA) or 1600 x 1200 (DVI). It incorporates a fanless, passive heatsink cooling solution for completely silent operation in noise-sensitive business spaces.
