If you use Solidworks, you know that having a Solidworks approved and tested video card is one of the biggest parts of a computer when talking about performance. Most of the time, issues within Solidworks can be attributed back to the video card not being sufficient, or not having current drivers.
So how much do we expect to pay for having stability in our work stations? Well that depends on how big you check book is. Middle of the road cards will set you back upto $1,000, and high end cards go up into the thousands of dollars. Well from time to time, free comes along, and free is always good.
nVidia has graciously donated a $699 Quadro FX 1700 video card to be given away to some lucky attendee at tomorrow night's meeting of the Los Angeles Area Solidworks User Group. Now this won't be just a raffle item, that some lucky ticket holder will win, those who choose to participate will have their Solidworks skills put to the test in a competition that will allow fellow User Group members to choose the winner.
So if your in the Los Angeles area, make sure to click the link above to get the meeting details, and plan to attend to get all the details for the contest.
Thank you to nVidia for supplying the card for the give-a-way. For more info on the card you could win, click here: nVidia Quadro FX 1700
