Hi there,
My work computer seems to be slow when doing some CAD work, and I'm already starting to think the graphics cards are the problem. Its got 2 graphics cards and theyre both ati 3450. The reason for suspecting the graphics is that the processor is an i7 core processor with a recently upgraded ram of 12gb and the CAD software seems to lag at no end. The lag im talking about is when I move around the vector field the movement seems sluggish.
The problem is that if I were to buy a more powerful graphics i would need a better powersupply because the stock supply is like 200-300W (cant remember) and their pins are different to a normal 24pin psu.
So there is my lengthy scenario and my question is, what are my options? can I upgrade it without the need of dell upgrading it for me?
Cheers
