I currently have a Dell OptiPlex 960 and want to change GPUs to run a 32" 4K display and also so I can use three/four monitors if I want.
The Dell currently has a AMD Radeon HD 6570. I want to install a NVIDIA Quadro P400.
Would that be a good swap? The P400 costs £92.40 on Amazon UK. Is it good value for money?
The length of the card is shorter so no problem.
The height is 0.4" more. Is that a problem?
Both are single sot.
Neither require an extra power cable.
The interface is PCIe x16 Gen 3 while the old card is second generation. Problem?
The P400 has a maximum power draw of 30W. The AMD card uses a maximum of 60W. That's good!
What am I missing?
I'm not an expert so your help would be appreciated.
