The machine is equipped originally with ATI Radeon HD 4550 with total memory of 3.5 GB with a capacity of DirectDraw, Direct3D and AGP texture accelation. However, this graphic card is equipped with DMS-59, which not many people use these days. So, we are sending out the HP 8100 Elite computer with a brand new NVIDIA GeForce 8400 GS with VGA, HDMI and DVI ports. Upon request, we ship the original graphic card with DMS-59 adapter to DVI or VGA as well. Thank you for your inquiry. GoGet Computers (www.gogetcomputers.com)

Call the avatar company. They answer very quickly and are very nice about answering questions on how to upgrade their computers. I upgraded with this vid card if that helps. I called and they checked compatibility for me 1 x ZOTAC ZT-61101-10M GeForce GTX 650 Ti 1GB 128-bit GDDR5 PCI Express 3.0 x16 HDCP Ready Video Card

The dual Xeon processors are going to seriously eat into your budget. Look up Cinebench results for dual 6 core and dual 8 core processors and ask yourselc how much you want to dip into your buxget for the CPU. I typically use VRay and other CPU based renering solutions rather than Octane or a GPU bqsex 4endering engine....but that is changing now that hair sims are on the GPU. Balance the CPU cores needed to render with MAX with the GPU on the video card for use with AE. No need to go with a Quadro video card..The GEforce series work with this board and you can get the Cuda cores to leverage...just check for compatibility. You can probably be fine with 32 or 64 gigs of unbuffered non ECC RAM.

So far as I know, this Model has Intel graphic not NVIDIA. I own one that has intel on-board graphic card.

I would see if you can find a GeForce 9400 gt pci 2.0 grafics card. This one works very well. I think ddr3 won't work for that older machine. You need ddr2.

Go to the NVidia website. All specifications for all levels of cards are there. Having a HiDef screen will also be needed that supports 3D. I have been very happy with this graphics card on my two computers and 36 in monitors.

You can use any graphics card that is PCI-Express compatible. The choice of which card to get is entirely yours. It depends on how much you want to spend and what you intend to do with it. I use my system primarily for gaming so I use:Sapphire Radeon HD 7950 3GB DDR5 HDMI / DVI-I / Dual Mini DP with Boost PCI-Express Graphics Card 11196-16-20GBut the choice is all yours. Hope this helps, and good luck!

You won't want to go with a machine that is slow and has little storage space unless you are using Autocad occasionally. Get a good video card and fast processor.

I would say your best bet would be to contact Apple, Intel or ATI about gpu compatibility with your server/workstation Intel Xeon CPU's. If it were me I would look into a good workstation GPU this is a consumer GPU. It may fit your needs and might work but, a workstation isn't what it's designed for.

I would check out tomshardware gpu list and see how it stacks up. You will only be able to use 1 of the GPUs since they are from different vendors.

That processor does not have integrated graphics. you need this one: AMD A6-6400K Richland 3.9GHz Socket FM2 65W Dual-Core Desktop Processor AMD Radeon HD AD640KOKHLBOX

it require an NVIDIA Graphics card and a NVIDIA 3d vision monitor compatible.

I didn't know they still sold this model; its roughly 2ish years old. I think you may want to look for a laptop with dedicated graphics.

CS6 said to "demand" Quadro, on the Adobe site. Other sites say Quadro not great gaming card. A fork in the road for you, I think.

You would have to check the requirements, specially in regard to the GPU/3D video requirements, but in my experience it runs well even very heavy business and development software, like Visual Studio 2012 Ultimate, but you'll have to check if the video requirements are up to standards for games.

From reading the requirements, it needs Windows XP/Vista/Windows7. Graphics card must run DirectX 9.0c. If your Mac will run Windows, then maybe. I would find out for sure before buying though. It will not run using Mac software.

Check the CD and/or the XFX site, the card also comes with a diagram on how to install if I recall correctly. For setting up AMD site has some good info as well.
