Can Anyone Recommend a Decent/Cheap Dual DVI Video Card?
 

Hey,

Looking to possibly upgrade my current video card which is DVI/VGA out.
Looking to get one thats dual DVI as I find the quality of the image on the monitor with the VGA connection inferior to the one with the DVI connection.
(DVI is way brighter and sharper...VGA is just more dull looking)

I really dont need anything too crazy as I do not do any gaming.

All I use my computer for really is surfing the web, and watching my shows...so with that in mind, could someone recommend a decent dual DVI video card that is a great value that will meet my needs?

Additional notes and info to consider:
- My current video card is the 128MB NVIDIA GEFORCE 8300GS, DVI/VGA - it "was" powering two Dell E228WFP 22" monitors and worked fine...
- However, the reason I'm looking to upgrade as well is because I've changed my monitor setup to two Dell S2309W 23" monitors that support 1920 x 1080 resolution...so I'm going to want something that can at least provide support for the higher resolution.
- I may be doing a little more photo editing and processing though...but not super heavy...I'm just getting into digital photography so maybe I should take that into consideration as well
- Computer is a Dell Vostro 200, with an E4400

*in case the techy guys want more details on the monitor to make a more accurate recomendation...


Thanks in advance for the advice guys :thumbsup:

PS: What could I sell the 128mb Nvidia Geforce 8300GS for? Is it even worth anything? lol

8300GS is probably worth $20 bux

i think 9600GT should have dual DVI

http://www.ncix.com/products/index.p...A&promoid=1058 - 9400GT, $53 after MIR.

http://www.ncix.com/products/index.p...9&promoid=1058 - Radeon 4830, $125 after MIR. Not sure if this is a truly more capable card or not, but it is newer architecture I think.

8300GS probably around 20$, that's about right I guess.

Thanks for the options guys..
that 9400GT looks like a great deal..

On an added note,

Will my current video card support the resolution that my new monitors can provide?
And should there be a difference in quality b/w the DVI and VGA? I'm using the DVI and VGA cables that came with the monitor...are there better cables I can use that will help?

THanks for the input guys
