Spec me a cheap card

[eddyc]

Hi,

I'm having some issues with the IGP on my motherboard (ATI Radeon™ HD 4200). I think it might be because there are no drivers available for Win 8.1 and also that it's struggling slightly with my 2560x1440 monitor.

So looking for a cheap card that I can use instead of the IGP. I do no gaming at all so the only requirements are:

- silent
- will fit in my case (full size coolermaster)
- DVI
- capable of supporting 2560x1440 monitor
- Win 8.1 drivers

I'm hoping to spend >£40. Ideally less.

Any suggestions would be great. Thanks in advance!

Looking to spend more than £40? Seems an odd requirement! Do you mean less than perhaps?

hahah, indeed. The little crocodile's mouth is facing the wrong way.

<£40

Thanks for spotting.

Not seen ones on here, but maybe an AMD R5 230? Can get passive versions of that. Alternately the GT610 from nVidia should also be suitable

Thanks David. I'll investigate.

Sorry for the stupid question but do I need to be careful about which size of card I buy? Will all fit in a full size case?
