Does slower graphics card slow down the system - actual processing power of the cpu??

[digitizer123]

OK this should be a simple answer for many . . . I am building a fast machine that will be used as a DAW ( music recording) - lot's of power hungry plugins . . but I am setting this up with 4 monitors - and do it inexpensively . . . I had compatibility issues with many sets of newer graphics card and finally got a pair of Nvidia pci card that worked well with my last build - I am planning to use the same card on the new one . . . I know it won't play games or anything and I don't care for that . . .

Will these slow dual moniter pci cards in anyway slow down the processing power of my i7 machine when I am doing cpu intesive work with the DAW???

Thanks

No, it won't slow down your tasks.

The graphics card(s) should only affect performance in applications that are actually doing something complicated with graphics, unless the graphics drivers are horribly broken in some way.

absolutely not, if that where true then servers without video cards couldn't exist.

Thanks a lot guys - Very clear now - as I almost sure but just wanted to make 100% sure before building the new system with these older cards that worked well without any compatibility issues. .


Thanks a bunch
