    hmmm... I might have to hit you up in a month or so
    You got anything that would support a triple monitor setup? Seems that the last few laptops and desktops I've had won't run 2 monitors without overheating. Nothing powerful that I'm running, just streaming videos most of the time while looking up truck stuff.

    Any video cards you wouldn't mind selling? Doesn't need to be spectacular, just need to be better than my integrated graphics. :cheers:

    I should have 1 to 3 of them, I just need to rip them out of the machine to find out what they are. They are all going to be around 6 years old so depending on your PC might not be better than mainboard graphics. My new PC's mainboard graphics blow away this 8600 GTS when running in SLI.

    How much are you looking to spend? $50 video cards these days aren't that bad at all. But anything under that really just isn't worth it unless you have an old PC.

    Yeah what I have most likely won't work. This is what I'll end up getting if I decide to get one. I tested this card out and I was very happy with it. I just haven't needed any more HP with my onboard graphics. All I play is my Xbox streaming and it looks great.

    Cards for CAD are 2x the cost because of certified drivers. There are gaming cards that will do it but you have to tweak the settings. I work with every known CAD software there is. I want to set them up SLI and see how they do.

    It's funny though. I just rolled into production 5 Dell 5810s. These are powerhouses but yet there is no noticeable difference to my users. They have faster procs, 2x the RAM they had and 2x the GPU.

    Anyone know if a good program to test my graphics card? My computer has been crashing when I'm either in my program working or gaming. I'm not sure if it's the hard drive or graphics card. Maybe even over heating idk.
