See this is what I was originally pondering. I found the original article I was talking about in my first post and if you got the time to read it you'll see what I mean about why a lower memory GFX card might be better with Protools. Of course its a 2yr old document so I'm not sure how relevant it is now but heres the link:

Start reading after the first picture in the text (the one with all the hex) for the bit about graphics cards.
