HP Quadro NVS 285 128 MB DDR2 PCI Express x16 Low Profile Passive 396683-001

SKU CH-PJRV-HK6RH

Entry-level professional graphics card with 128 MB DDR2 memory, passive cooling and dual-monitor support over PCI Express x16

  • Dual-monitor support with NVIDIA NVS 285 chipset
  • 128 MB DDR2 memory on 64-bit bus
  • PCI Express x16 single-slot installation
  • Low-profile passive cooler for silent operation
  • RoHS compliant professional graphics card

Professional dual-display graphics

The HP Quadro NVS 285 is a low-profile PCI Express x16 graphics card built for professional environments that need two independent monitors from a single slot. It uses an NVIDIA NVS 285 chipset with 128 MB of DDR2 memory on a 64-bit bus. The passive cooler keeps the card silent in noise-sensitive workspaces.

Sustained 2D workload stability

Under continuous desktop loads the passive heatsink dissipates heat without a fan, so acoustic output stays at zero while frame buffers for two displays remain active. The 128 MB DDR2 frame buffer and 64-bit memory interface deliver consistent bandwidth for business applications, multi-monitor productivity and basic visualisation tasks over long sessions.

Single-slot low-profile passive build

The card occupies one slot space and fits low-profile chassis brackets, making it suitable for compact small-form-factor PCs where active cooling is impractical. A single PCI Express x16 edge connector provides both power and data, so no auxiliary power cables are required. RoHS compliance confirms restricted-substance adherence for regulated deployments.

Questions about this item

Does the passive cooler on the Quadro NVS 285 stay silent and cool during all-day use?

The passive cooler has no fan, so it runs completely silent. With only 128 MB of DDR2 memory and a 64 bit bus, heat output is low enough for continuous operation.

Which cable do I need to connect two monitors to the single low-profile bracket?

The card fits a single low-profile slot and supports two monitors, so you will need a compatible splitter cable that matches the output on the bracket.

Will this PCI Express x16 card work in an older desktop that only has a standard PCI slot?

The host interface is PCI Express x16, so it requires a motherboard with a PCI Express x16 slot; it will not fit a legacy PCI slot.
