Hi guys
newbie here so hello to all im hoping this is gonna make sense.I need a pci graphics card to run 2 screens but all the cards i have seen have the groove to the front of the card but on my pc the groove needs to be at the rear of the card.I can use a pci-e but too expensive

Weclome,

The question doesn't make much sense to me..

What is your motherboard? (if you don't know the model can you take a picture?)

Will you just be using two screen to view web pages and movies or gaming?

What budget do you have?

thanks.

Quadro NVS280? :confused:

I have an old Geforce 3 64mb with DVI/VGA but I have no idea about it's dual monitor capabilites. Unless it's obvious given the two outputs

If you want to do the research and it turns out that it'll do what you need, it's yours for free
