Additional Graphics card for extra Displayports

Evening All

I currently run a RX480 GFX card with triples for iracing.

I could do with another two outputs for text based stuff, running discord,OBS etc, along with a screen that I run on a desk along side the machine, what is the best option for a card for this purpose?

Be nice if there was a very low cost budget AMD card that I could pair with this this with a couple of Displayports.

Any caveats with this?

Cheers
 
I think for text pretty much anything from the last 10 years would probably do, IIRC if you're not after a gaming card there are still some available from about £40 or so (I've seen some 2gb nvidia 710's), if your postcount was higher I'd have suggested looking in member market.

The problem at the moment is that most specialist places have probably sold out of most stock due to the shortages in newer cards and the old cheapies are usually very much "what is left in the warehouse" to begin with.

[edit]
Sorry just saw you specifically wanted display ports, that will limit you a fair bit, do they have to be display port and not hdmi/dvi with an adaptor if it's only for text type stuff?

All be it, for ease of use and less fuss it's good to stick with cards that use the same drivers as your RX480.

You'll be lucky to find a low budget card (much under £100) with 2 Displayports.
