I just received my Envy Phoenix 800-170st with the nVidia GeForce GTX645 card. I would like to take the older nVidia card from my HP 8300 (11/2009) and install it in the 800-170st in the second PCI-E slot just above the GTX645 card so that I can run 2 HP monitors using the DVI port on each card.
This appears to be possible with the hardware, but are there any caveats or issues that I should consider before doing this ... heat, power, etc?
I am currently running the second monitor off of the HDMI port on the GTX645, but would like to use DVI for both monitors. The monitors are HP 27xi (new) and HP2709 which came with the 8300.
Thanks!
