My new Acer computer came with an HD graphics 630 card and does not support dual monitors and I would like to install the EVGA GT 710 2GB DDR3 64bit Single Slot on my new Acer Aspire Desktop, 7th Gen Intel Core i5-7400, 12GB DDR4, 2TB HDD,Windows 10 Home, TC-780-ACKI5 and would like to know if this is possible and will the computer support dual monitors?
 
Specs say that computer has one HDMI output. So if you need multiple monitor support then you will need to add a card. Keep in mind that GT 710 is SLOW. You will be getting the most basic level of performance, not suitable for gaming. It will allow you to use multiple monitors though, so it will solve that problem. Make sure the model you get has the outputs(VGA or DVI or HDMI) that you need.
 



What card would you suggest that is fast and affordable?
 
Does it make more sense to send computer back which i can do and get something that is more suited for dual monitors and quick for online trading platforms?
