You are not going to see a picture quality difference in just displaying digital photos. Because all that takes is to fill in the frame buffer with a pixel bitmap. I don't think you will see a picture quality difference when playing a video either. Because the MPEG-x compression is decoded...

There is only 1 PCIe X16 in a Dell XPS 8300. Ditch the ATI card that comes with Dell. Get an Eyefinity 6 provided if you have double slot width available. (It uses one PCIe X16 slots but physically will occupy the space of 2 slots' width.) This is a very big card... you need to make sure...

In general a bad idea to mix graphics chips (FX 3500 vs NVS 295). You may have compatibility issues. Good luck.

Look at the technical specifications of the card for "resolutions". You want to make sure the resolution is: 1920 x 1080 or above

Dang! That's such a bargain!

Just one trade... :p

Y'all too humble! Get an Eyefinity 24! LOL :D :D :D <object style="height: 390px; width: 640px"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/N6Vf8R_gOec?version=3"><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"><param name="allowScriptAccess" value="always"><embed...

Gosh... you all penny pinchers make me sick! You should all go out to buy 3 of these video cards. Your trading is on the line! No cutting corner here. You need to spend money to make money! :D :D :D :D :D

You know... we are traders not graphics designers. We use our monitors to display candlestick charts with primary colors most of the time, or Level-2, or a DOM, or even volume profile. We are not looking at JLo's face close up. VGA doesn't make that much difference from DVI. If you have the...

I think you meant the "8400 GS" card. They have an 8500 GT and 8600 GT and 8600 GTS... all are slightly higher-end than 8400 GS but for our trading, any one in this series will work okay. (Popular ones are 8400 GS and 8600 GT) http://www.nvidia.com/page/geforce8.html

If you can find NVS 295 for $20 on Ebay, get them. Those are good cards. If you want to buy new... 8400 GS would be fine too. The Zotac card uses passive cooling while my EVGA has a small fan. That's a bonus. I always like passive cooling.

Why not? I use many of these. One one computer (model U), I use four of them, 8400 GS, to drive 8 monitors. Here is a picture of it that I posted upthread before. http://www.elitetrader.com/vb/showthread.php?s=&threadid=195662&perpage=40&pagenumber=4 The post dated "04-01-11 05:04 PM"...

I have 2 ASUS P6T motherboards (processor i7-930) since about May 2010. 1 year and 4 months now. No problem with either one. Maybe this model is a quality product. Maybe I am just lucky?

I think you can use the $200 to subsidize the laptop purchase and make the purchase sooner. You can then use the Dell as a spare.

The prices on those SSDs are really nice. I remember paying more than that to get an Intel 40GB SSD a year ago. And $250 for 120GB.

Samsungs are nice monitors. I love them. Because I pack mine closely together, I prefer to use ones with small bezels.

My MSI Bag Bang motherboard runs 4 video cards just fine. I had tried a few times... but every time I added a 5th card, things went haywire. Display became extremely slow. I had given up. I had tried putting the 5th card in different slots but no difference made.

Hey she was standing there behind you watching you typed, wasn't she? :D :D That's okay... you don't need to answer this. :D

My job is to ensure all pieces will functionally work together. Not whether one needs them. And it's Sam's department to bargain on price! LOL :D

optionman31601: IMO both the EyeFinity 6 and the ASUS EAH6950 cards are overkills. It's the analogy of "buying a Ferrari to do grocery runs" again. EyeFinity 6 is over $500 for 6 screens. ASUS EAH6950 is over $200 for 4 screens. While you can use 3 EVGA 8400 GS x $30 = $90 for all 6...
