Well I need it as I work from home and I have a Swift which only takes display port so I'd like to get 1 for as cheap as possible.
 
Graphics cards with display port output tend to start at around £89.99 on here, whereas cards with DVI output start from £19.99. Wouldn't a cheap DVI card work, with a DVI->DP adapter? You'll have to sacrifice some Hz/Pixels, seeing as it's only a temporary solution I suppose it depends on whether you're willing to compromise on that.

If a DVI to DP adapter works then I don't mind sacrificing hz and pixels for a temp solution :)
 
Durrrr, ignore me. I got the input/output the wrong way round in my head. Passive DVI out to Display Port adapters aren't a thing :(
 
So is this just 1 card to replace 1 card? Or are you running dual monitors/sli etc etc?

750ti can be picked up second hand for about £35-40 which has DP.
