Why It Mattered

NVS 300 sits in NVIDIA's business-display and NVS lineage, where multi-monitor stability, small form factors, and enterprise driver support mattered more than gaming performance. Exact board details are important because NVS cards often changed outputs, brackets, and OEM packaging.
