Decent low profile card for dual DVI?
I need to drive two DVI 1920x1200 screens using a single card in a low-profile PCIe slot.
What is the fastest card that will fit those limitation?

Dual DVI low profile cards are extremely rare.
The "fastest" is the HD 6450, but is dual slot. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16814102960 If you don't mind using adapters, the HD 6670 is the fastest low profile card available: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16814102958

Interesting, can you get 1920x1200 out of a HDMI port when you use a HDMI to DVI adaptor?

There should be no difference in terms of supported resolution when adaptors are used as far as i know.

Yes. For a while I've run a Dell Studio laptop with the HDMI port connected to a 24" 1920x1200 monitor using an HDMI to DVI cable. You can convert from HDMI to DVI without any 'conversion' happening, it's the same signal. Only area of concern I think is if you need dual link DVI (27"+ monitor or 120Hz HD signal). I think it's HDMI 1.3 or better to support dual link DVI modes but I'm not sure, it could be vendor specific.

Thanks, I will go for the 6450 as it will fit and gives me the option to use a third screen if needed.

Oh wait, that HD 6450 is the DDR3 version which is a lot slower than the GDDR5 version
