It's fine to run 2 monitors, if that's what you need it for, but you won't see performance benefit to doing so. If anything, you are just using more juice/causing more heat.
Just order this and a few supportive parts for it and you will be set.

I know either Amazon or New Egg has a Geforce GTX 1060 for around $200. It's the desktop version of the card I have in my laptop and my laptop runs pretty much everything I throw at it. I can play most new games on highest settings and get between 60-70 FPS at all times.
Part of the problem is not being sure that a graphics card alone is a solution. Perhaps the problem was in l1/l2 cache, ram, or some other bottleneck/temp issue/etc... Hated to spend so much without a better diagnosis.
It turns out a 1050 and 6gig of ram are plenty for my situation. When my law practice takes off and I'm a millionaire I'll buy Rick's card the same day I buy that Tesla that extracts fillings.

My son wants an upgraded video card and memory for his desktop for Christmas. He plays a lot of games online with friends (Steam) and his computer lags a bit.
How can I figure out what cards and memory are compatible? His computer is approx. 2-3 years old and I got it from Cybertron, which has since been sold/merged with another company.
Find out what motherboard you have and post it in this thread.

Graphics cards (good ones anyway) are juice hogs, so you need to makes sure the powersupply can handle it. There's online calculators for estimating wattage based on your hardware. Then there's little stuff that can be forgotten (such as buying a graphics card only to realize that your monitor's connection type is different or the maximum resolution is a bottleneck).
If you can post some specs/makes/models, I (and others) may be able to at least point you in the right direction.
Thanks, guys. I'll do this later tonight and post the info.
