Hi guys
Returning an evga 750 due to faulty fan and want an amd card with display port that supports 3440x1440 at 60hz
Must be very quiet
What's your recommendations as I'm liking the look of the Asus r7250x 2gd5
 
What are you going to be using the card for? Just monitor output alone or gaming? And most importantly, what is the budget?
Here's a passively cooled 750TI for now. There doesn't seem to be any equivalent AMD cards available right now. I'd suggest waiting till the AMD Radeon 300 series launches for more options.
YOUR BASKET
1 x Palit GeForce GTX 750TI KalmX SILENT 2048MB GDDR5 PCI-Express Graphics Card £119.99
Total : £128.69 (includes shipping : £7.25 Ex.VAT).



Might as well go for a GTX 960, since its better price:performance than cheaper cards.

My budget is around £120 to £130 the Palit card above does not have dp so thats not an option Its mainly just for monitor output but could use it for some light gaming in the future
 
Ah I overlooked the displayport, sorry about that. Recommending a quiet low end card is kinda tricky as there's less benchmarks etc for cooling/noise.
YOUR BASKET
1 x Powercolor Radeon R9 270X "PowerBank" 2048MB GDDR5 PCI-Express Graphics Card £119.99
Total : £129.59 (includes shipping : £8.00 Ex.VAT).


This has 2 mini-DP (just use a mini-DP to DP cable, I have a spare myself) and is the best bang-for-buck at the £120 price point. As before, I have no idea how loud this is, it has fans to add noise.

Also as before, I'd recommend waiting for AMD's new cards to release. Just in case they are worse and offer a downgrade in price/performance, be prepared to quickly order a R9 2XX card before they inevitably go out of stock as people snatch them up from sales intended to clear remaining numbers of these cards.
