Spec me a cheap & quiet PCI-e gfx card!

[hughythomas]

Hi guys

I am in need of a cheap, quiet (or preferably passive) graphics card with no power connector requirement (bus powered). It also has to have 2x DVI ports as I run dual screen 2407WFPs...

Any suggestions?

I just sold my 8800GTX on as it was overkill for what I need - this is for my audio workstation in the studio.

Many thanks in advance

Tom

Faster than my old replacement card the GT240 which ran a few older games at 1080p such a World or warcraft.
Only problem is finding a card with dual Dvi but it does have VGA so a simple VGA-DVI converter will be supplied in the box is my guess.

Using an adapter like this or a cable like this you will get your second DVI port with no loss of quality (compared to a native DVI port).

If you don't plan to game, then I would go for this card.
