Right, though I normally do pretty well when it comes to sorting comps etc, one area I am not that hot on, is GFX cards, and especially when it comes to running dual monitors.
Missus mate has asked me to get her lads Acer tower set up with a dual screen setup, and upon looking, he only has the one pci-e slot total in which to do this, so it's a fair bet only way this dual screen trick will work, is with a dual output GFX card.
Lad in question is what I would best describe, as a moderate sort of games player, and tends to go for stuff like Minecraft etc (Seams so from what I see installed anyway).
I need folks suggestions with two things..... a good (Not overpriced mind... the lad is costing his mum enough as it is LOL) GFX card that is nVidia based ideally (Times when I service comps, nVidia don't give me 1/2 as much shit as others do), and also if there is the possibility I need to uprate the installed PSU, depending on the GFX card obviously (Current one is rated at 500 watts).
I did see one dual output GFX card on Amazon that is massively cheap when compared to what else is available (£25, which seams a bit too cheap to me), but at only a gig's worth of memory, something tells me that may not be enough, especially when you note his current one is 2 gig dedicated on-board.
Tower in question, is an Acer Predator G3-605
