cosrocket Posted April 29, 2015 Author Share Posted April 29, 2015 Are you wanting server grade, average desktop, or gaming? You gave very little description of your needs, cosrocket. Sorry...I have a 27 inch 2560 x 1440 resolution Asus monitor which I have connected to my MacBook Pro via mini Display Port. I want to get a Windows desktop PC and connect it via DVI but it has to be dual link DVI. I have been given conflicting info as to whether I can run it in full resolution at 60Hz via HDMI. I know it will work fine with dual link DVI so that's why I'm asking. I'm not doing anything intensive. I just want it to work in full resolution at 60Hz.

BinaryData Posted April 30, 2015 Share Posted April 30, 2015 Thanks, I'll check them out. NewEgg has some pretty sweet cards for cheap too. I roll NVidia, and not ATI. Just a preference. GFX Cards Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PGHammer Posted April 30, 2015 Share Posted April 30, 2015 NewEgg has some pretty sweet cards for cheap too. I roll NVidia, and not ATI. Just a preference. GFX Cards In the case of NVidia, there's basically anything Fermi - which supports both DVI-D and DVI-I straight out. (My only quibble with Fermi is that full-size HDMI is not universally supported; Kepler and later correct this quibble, though.) Kepler (and even the original GTX750 series ("baby Maxwell")) may be in your price range as well - I'm considering the ASUS GTX750 DIrectCU Silent. Yes - a true passively-cooled (as in no fan at all) GTX750. (Quite frankly, I'm surprised we haven't seen one before, as GTX750 has a lower TDP than Mobility Radeon HD54xx or HD55xx, for that matter - and that AMD GPU commonly shipped in a fanless configuration - for HTPC/light-gaming duties.) http://www.asus.com/us/Graphics_Cards/GTX750DCSL2GD5/specifications/ http://www.microcenter.com/product/443438/GeForce_GTX_750_2GB_GDDR5_PCIe_Video_Card One each of DVI-I, DisplayPort, and full-size HDMI. Like HD5450 (and unlike my GTX550Ti - which it would replace) it needs no external power. It will also support the just-released NVidia DX12 beta Forceware driver (as well as previous Forceware drivers). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
