This review for a $5500 Quadro RTX 8000: SIWTJJune 11, 2019
 Decent Card for Internet Explorer
 I found my computer was lagging when viewing
 certain sites like CNN and MSN; I updated my existing
 video drivers (Intel HD 500) as my OEM (Dell)
 suggested. Nothing seems to work so I decided to bite
 the bullet and upgrade to a more business type video
 card (as I typically review the business articles).
 After installing the new card I found it difficult to find
 the appropriate adapter (as I still use a VGA monitor as
 I prefer the analog approach as it is impossible to
 hack). Thankfully my local computer store (A1
 Computers) sold a DisplayPort to VGA adapter and
 assured me that it still was using analog technology.
 Once installing the new card I sill had issues as the
 video output only came out the existing monitor port.
 Thankfully after a couple hours on the phone with
 NVIDIA I was able to get into the BEOS to change the
 primary display to be the PCi-E port.
 I feel like certain applications seem faster; specifically
 windows calculator and paint. Other applications like
 Minesweeper and Solitaire seem like they lag a little
 but it could just be my imagination or nvidia
 mentioned Microsoft may not be using the new
 Direct3D API?
 Overall I am very satisfied as both MSN and CNN seem
 to load much faster. I deducted a star because they
 should include more adapters in the box.
