    Hi guys,

    Upgraded my PC to a new one for music production. Pain in the arse trying to get the dual monitors working as I bought a crap graphics card (Club 3D Radeon HD 6450 Noiseless Edition, 1024MB GDDR3, PCI-Express)

    Is my old graphics card compatible with my new PC if I use it instead?

    New Mobo:
    ASUS P6X58-E WS, Sockel 1366, ATX, DDR3

    Old graphics card:
    XFX GeForce 8800GTS 500M 640MB GDDR3,

    Want to get a better graphics card for my old PC anyway to play games on my TV so would suit me to swap them over.

    Thanks for your help

    Its a PCIe card so yes will work fine (that motherbard you list supports PCIe cards), you will need to first uninstall ATI drivers before removing the ATI card and putting the 8800 in, also the 8800 is a large card, make sure it fits the case
