Comparable Video Card Upgrade

[vladkomp]

Hello,

I have an Nvidia Quadro 4000 that just failed in Lenovo tower
Just by doing a quick search, Quadro 4000 is about $600.

Is there a video card I should look in to prior of just replacing the one that failed?

Here is what I have:
Lenovo Thinkstation D30 on Windows 7 64bit

Needs to have a DVI output for the Mac Monitor.

Maybe have an option of 2 or 3 I should consider?

Also, this computer is mainly for AutoCAD and Revit so it would be great if it was certified by Autodesk as well.

Thanks!

If being certified by Autocad in an important criteria, then you should start by getting the list of cards from them. It is probably pretty limited compared to all the cards on the market.
