About a 6 months ago I upgraded to a pair of 4k monitors and a Quadro K4200 video card. I run the cards at 30FPS using display port 1.2. My PC is a 4th gen I7 with an SSD and 20GB of 1600MHz RAM, so no slouch there. I have a cable modem, and speed tests report download 18Mbits/sec and upload...

I use an older unsupported CAD program that was designed for XP running on W7. It runs fine, but I've found that when I try to delete it that one of the folders has all of its subdirectories permissions all messed up. I see that all 143 subdirectories do not have the typical Administrator...

Bump.

Can I do this? If so, how does one set things up? I have a Quadro K2200 video card plus a built-in Intel HD4000. I would like to run my two 4k monitors on the K2200 and my two HD monitors on the HD4000. Every time I try and plug one of the HD monitors into any of the HD4000 ports the PC...

I'm looking to have up to 4 monitors in Windows 8.1. Two are 4k and two are HD. How many monitors can Window 8.1 natively support? I think the maximum is 3, but its not obvious. If I want 4 or more monitors in Windows 8.x what software do you recommend? Does anyone know if Windows 10...

Ok, figured out the power connector. I just need to use the hard drive to PCIe power adaptor cable that comes with the Quadro card. Follow up question on the drivers. Some of the CAD software I run is a very specialized/obscure microwave simulation program. I seriously doubt anyone would...

That Quadro K4200 costs $780, but appears exactly what I'm looking for. Is that fact that it only uses PCIe 2.0 (vs. 3.0) an issue?

Looking for advice on the right graphics card. My work is engineering CAD, not gaming. Mostly PCB layout, simulation graphing, and spreadsheets. My PC is a Dell OptiPlex 920 (4th gen i7 with Q87 MB, 24GB of RAM, SSD, PCIe x16 (one full height slot), Windows 8.1 (will jump to W10 when its...
