Professional workstation GPU for legacy CAD

The DELL 01HKHC Quadro FX 5800 delivers 4GB of GDDR3 memory across a 512-bit interface with 240 stream processors. It targets users maintaining certified applications on Windows XP, Vista or Linux workstations that require DirectX 10 and OpenGL 3.0 compatibility. The card occupies a PCI Express 2.0 x16 slot and includes one DisplayPort plus two dual-link DVI outputs supporting digital resolutions up to 2560 x 1600.

Straightforward installation in older workstations

The full-height bracket and standard PCI Express 2.0 x16 edge connector fit legacy Dell Precision and compatible OEM chassis without adapters. A single fan cooler exhausts heat toward the rear, so verify that the case airflow path is unobstructed. The stereo port uses a specialised 3-pin connector that is not a standard mini-jack; ensure your 3D glasses or emitter match this interface. SLI bridging requires a second identical Quadro FX 5800 and the appropriate ribbon connector.

Check power, driver support

Confirm the workstation power supply provides the necessary auxiliary PCIe connectors for this generation of card. Operating system support ends at Windows Vista and 32-bit Linux kernels; modern 64-bit Windows versions lack certified drivers. Digital displays need a DisplayPort or dual-link DVI cable capable of 2560 x 1600 at 60 Hz; single-link DVI or passive adapters will not achieve the maximum resolution.

Questions about this item

How do I confirm the Quadro FX 5800 is running at PCI Express 2.0 x16 speed after installation?

In GPU-Z or NVIDIA Control Panel check the bus interface field; it should read PCIe 2.0 x16 and the 512-bit memory bus will also be reported.

Which cables or adapters come in the box for the DisplayPort and two DVI outputs?

The card ships with a fan cooler only; you must supply your own DisplayPort and DVI cables or active adapters for each monitor you connect.

Should I choose the 4GB GDDR3 version or a lower-capacity model for large CAD assemblies?

The 4GB GDDR3 frame buffer and 512-bit bus give the highest texture and geometry capacity in the FX 5800 line, so select this version for large assemblies.
