I have an Acer veriton running an intel i7 3770 @ 3.4GHz.
The 512mb NVIDIA GeForce gt520 that came with it sucks. I've had problems with it since the day I got it. Videos frequently have thin white lines across them and sometimes text disappears when working on a word document, but comes back when you click-drag over it. But the biggest problem is reboots. The graphics card causes a hardware failure that results in a crash and immediate reboot. It happens sporadically, and nothing I have done can consistently reproduce the problem. It seems to crash for any reason, or sometimes no reason at all. Doesn't matter if I'm staring at my desktop, or doing something graphic intensive. I've screwed around with firmware upgrades, downgrades, etc.... I'm tired of messing with it.
What do you guys recommend as a good replacement? I need dual monitor support in DVI (preferably) or VGA. My existing monitors do hot have HDMI, nor am I interested in replacing them. This is mostly a work computer. No gaming. I just need a good, reliable card that can also handle quality video playback without problems. Cost is not much of a concern.
thanks,
