Hello All, and thanks in advance for any help provided!
I currently have a XFX HD-487A-ZHDC Radeon HD 4870 1GB XXX 256-bit GDDR5 PCI Express 2.0 x16 HDCP Ready CrossFire Supported Video Card, and it's for a PCIE x16 slot, which there is only one of on my mobo. I absoutely love this video card, and I'm glad I invested in it, as it's really powerful and can play all the games I need. I'm looking to add another video card, to do some professional video work, and I need more than the two monitors that mine currently supports. I'm guessing that the only way I can add another video card to my computer is through the PCI slot, and I'm looking for suggestions of good PCI video cards that are not too pricey, but worth the money. I really don't care if the output is DVI or VGA, but I'd prefer a good amount of onboard memory, so it can handle some pretty intense rendering. If I'm wrong about having to get a PCI video card, please say so, and otherwise, I'd like suggesitons for video cards that are compatible with my mobo (GIGABYTE GA-MA790XT-UD4P AM3 DDR3 AMD 790X ATX AMD Motherboard), and keep in mind that I already have one video card taking up the PCIE x16 slot.
Thanks for any and all help you can provide!
