"Are we onto something here? :hopeful look in my eyes:"

I, personally, believe you are... Shawn may agree or have other ideas.  He's a guru, i'm just a lackey ;)

I know that when I bought this computer, I went with the "latest and greatest" NVidia card... the GeForce GTX 590.  THIS nessessitated me getting a much more powerful power supply than typically comes in this style computer - simply because it pulls soooo much power.  Even with the extra power, the fact that I have liquid cooled system with a few fans tossed in for good measure, when Vue renders - it sounds like a Cessna.  (Much better than my old system which sounded like a bunch of jet planes taking off!).

More power... a few more fans (most systems, you can add one or two more fans to the mess easily)... i think you'll be fine putting that card back in place!  Again, i'm no Guru... just speaking from my own experiences. =D

Rarer than a hairy egg and madder than a box of frogs....
