Wow, Quadros tend to start at $400. That's half my budget.
It amazes me how different the video tech can be that you can spend
$500 on a video card that's supposed to be amazing for CAD and
rendering, but can't run games. Crazy.
Well, again, gaming isn't a big deal for this machine, but $400+ is
kinda steep.
Any recommendations for more around the $15 to $250 range?
