I have an older Dell Precision T3400 (http://www.dell.com/us/dfb/p/precision-t3400/pd) which has a single NVIDIA Quadro FX 3700 card. I have it connected to two monitors but now need to add HDMI TV for movies but dont want to give up on one monitor.
So my target config is 2xDVI + 1xHDMI.
The Quadro FX 3700 is no longer available and I noticed it sells on ebay for close to $300...
So I thought I would sell it and get two GTX 550 TIs which sell for $140 ea.
The specs on Dell web site say this machine is capable of "Support for Dual PCI Express x16 graphics cards up to 300 watts and with up to 768MB discrete graphics memory. "
So my question is:
"If I get two GTX 550 TIs will I be able to run them PCIe x16 x2 (SLI?) and will I be able to achieve 3 monitor configuration?"
Many thanks and let me know if you need more details
BTW - I do not play games. Its mostly for business, video watching and video / photo editing
