Hi forum,
I (almost) was going to build a completely new PC from scratch because I feel the performance of my PC (especially regarding the speed of my Windows GUI!) is rather bad.![Confused](https://forums.passmark.com/core/images/smilies/icon_confused.gif)
However, when comparing different Baselines, I found that especially the 2D Graphics section (Fonts and Text, and Windows Interface) can vary incredibly with different graphics cards.![Surprised](https://forums.passmark.com/core/images/smilies/eek.png)
For example, in below screenshot, the topmost (red) bar unfortunately is my system (with NVIDIA Quadro FX 4500 Graphics card).

The one system that is performing incredibly well is the third to last -- which however has a rather ridiculous NVIDIA GeForce GT 520 Graphics card!
(the Baseline is called "P8H67-v Intel Core i5-2500 @ 3.30GHz 3311 BL440855" if you want to download and have a look at it)
Thus, possibly I could be more than happy with my system if I only threw a GT520 in, instead of building a new PC from scratch (using my old graphics card, of all things)!
Therefore and in order to find another graphics card, that is even (much) better than the GT520 (regarding 2D and Windows Interface):
Thanks HEAPS already reagarding any ideas how to (systematically) find the BESTEST graphics card (regarding those certain 2D performance areas),
Cheers David.P

- is there a way to run an advanced search for a) only graphics cards, and b) only regarding certain areas of performance, say for example "2D and Windows Interface" performance
