I searched I promise but alas there was no answers I could find. At any rate this is my first post here but I've come here for years for info. I have a home/pro recording studio and have realized I need three monitors. The two I use for my desk are great but I would really like one in the live room so I can actually control things in the mix while in the other room as well as having clients have access to lyrics, music, waveforms etc...
I have a (knock on wood) trusty Dell 690 that runs pro tools using a MOTU core system which consists of a pci-x (and soon pci-e) card to get audio in and out. It's highly reliable and has zero latency. For a video card I have GeForce 9800 gtx. The only slot I have available is a PCI-E -1x. I am wondering if i could use the NVIDIA Quadro nvs 300 along with the geforce 9800? Finding a PCI-E x1 is not the easiest bu they are there. I have so far seen no wwhose used them in a dell 690.
I also have two AMD Radeon 5450s. My other question is would I just be better off using the two 5450s which given their low profile would fit in contrast to the 9800 which takes up two slots?
Thanks in advance
