OptiPlex 320 mini tower new video card problems/options
OptiPlex 320 mini tower, shipping date 5.24.07 Windows 8.1.1, all updates Attempted to add an nvidea pcie video card: evga GeForce 210 changed bios to auto 10+ minutes to boot task manager was running at 50+ cpu all other tasks pushed it to 99 Downloaded the newest driver from nvidea for the card "No compatible hardware detected." At least 5 boots. Stopping auto starting programs,... Removed the card, used internal vid, checked windows update and a nvidea driver was available. Put the card into another computer. Much joy and happiness. Windows installed the driver, restart, and a notice to download the newest driver from nvidea. This is a low power card. 2.0, and 2.1 pcie compliant. This computer does not need lots of graphics power. I do want to attach 2 monitors. Will this card work for a mini-tower: http://en.community.dell.com/support-forums/desktop/f/3515/p/19581335/20624649.aspx#20624649 PCI cards are available. Other Ideas?

NVIDIA 210 cards are not very compatible.
Get an ASUS Radeon HD5450. Works fine in all models except USFF.
