Cheap GFX Card :)



  500bhp Scoob
What do you class as cheap?

I know the card thats in my PC at the moment has a dual DVI option, and you can also get it in low profile.

Matrox Millennium G550 Dual DVI

About £85 but its more of a CAD type card than your gaming graphics card...

I'm just using it as it came with it, absolutely hate this PC because I'm struggling to find a good graphics card thats AGP 4x

I'll be using it for photoshop/auto cad/3d max... :)

I know it''d be worth while a new PC but these PC's in the office are mostly pretty new and are all exactly the same and got a good deal from HP :)

Shame they're business PC's so are compact and not very upgradable!

how about dual vgi!?

I just basically need extended scree n- i have 2 19" monitors and need to stretch across them both

Look at the G550, PC World Business do it for around the £85 mark, and its designed for CAD in mind.

if you look on www.pcwb.com and search G550 in the top right corner, they've actually got exactly what your looking for, in the clearance section :)

yea thats it :) i'm running the G550 with 1 VGA port and a DVI port, I've got a DVI to VGA adaptor to run 2 17" monitors side by side.

It came in a Dell Precision 530 I got from a chap I know, was used as a CAD machine, good card, just a shame I want a gaming card... wish the precision 530 mobo supported AGP 8x, am quite limited on cards to fit in this, as its a dual cpu system

your after a 'workstation' type card, they still sell it today for a moderate price aswell, so it can't be poop :)

So use an 8x card there all compatible not only that 8x cards arent really much different in bandwidth uses to 4x cards anyway so makes sod all difference.
