    Have a Lenovo E30-7824 desktop at work ( basic specs here). Currently running dual P2311Hb's at 1920x1080 in extended desktop mode off of a Quadro 400. Finding myself running out of real estate, so want to add a third P2311Hb, and thus need a new PCI-E 2.0 16x GPU. This is primarily for coding and IT tasks, so I don't need a heavy-duty card intended for FHD gaming. Budget is under $400 preferably.

    Thanks for the input!

    inb4 this gets moved, but you could just add in really anything with an output you need for the monitor, 100 dollars would be more than enough for that.

    Pick up a GT 630/640 maybe?

    Whoops, totally forgot this was the notebook forums. I'll repost over in DTR. Just to clarify though, this mobo only has one slot for video, so I'd be replacing the Quadro with a card capable of supporting 3 HDMI/DVI/DP outputs.

    Mods, please feel free to close; thanks!
