Hi everyone, here is my computer spec:
http://www.cnet.com/products/gateway-fx6831-01/specs/

I need to replace my graphic card ATI Radeon HD 5850, because after I change my total ram to 16GB, my PC still lags when scrolling on some page. I'm running two 27'' monitors, so I figure it could be the current graphic drive is not efficient anymore.

Could you let me know which graphic card have the exact same layout, so I can install it into my current machine, it must have the following feature:
1. DUAL monitor support. (both port need to be DIV port)
2. PCI Express x16 interface type, so it matches with my machine
3. What is the maxium GB i can get for my FX6831-01 machine?

Thanks for your suggestions.

Thanks again Chris, this is also 1GB, do you think any 2GB video card will be compatible with my machine?

Because the one I'm using now is also 1GB, and I feel the slow down, by replacing with another 1GB video card, I assume it will have the same performance?

Thanks so much!

No not really, because you want a gpu that has 2 DVI, your limiting your options. There IS a 4gb one, but not with the 2 DVI.

If your gonna put a fast GPU in there, your gonna have to put a fast cpu in there, otherwise the slow one will bottleneck the other.
Your cpu is about 5+ years old, so its not worth it to put a gpu in there thats less than 2 years old.

I appreciate the answer again Chris, I just realize the current graphic card also have HDMI, so I might not require the new one to have two DVIs, it can be one DVI, and the other monitor I just use the HDMI port, it will work too right as dual monitor system.

In this case, do I have more choices for the video card? like at least 2GB?

thanks again!
