Hi There!

I have a NVS310 right now, but it's not really coping with the 2 x 1440p monitors attached to it. Mostly it's ok, but streaming 720p/1080p causes tearing and shuddering often, and I am having strange problems where after RDP'ing to the machine, when I login locally the machine requires a restart a couple of times a week due to one screen reverting to 1024x786 and won't allow me to change it.

Machine is LP and has a 240w PSU.

Is there a solution without spending a fortune?

You'll struggle to find more powerful low profile cards that will run safely with that PSU

If you haven't already, download the latest Video card driver from http://www.nvidia.com/Download/index.aspx?lang=en-us

NVS says it needs 19w operational. Should be PLENTY left for a SSD and the rest of the stuff in this machine I'd have thought.

Matrox has this

Matrox M9128-E1024LAF Low-Profile Dual Monitor Graphics Card (1024MB, PCI-E x16)

What are the chances that or the NVS 315 would be better do you think? Is tearing and shuddering usually a processing power or lack of memory issue?
