Anyone have any suggestions for a cheap video card for a new pc build that will be setup for audio recording. Since it is for audio, the video doesn't need to be anyting special, just get the job done.
 
also...
agp or pci-e???

if it is agp lol
i just bought a X800 GTO
nice card for what i use it for...
have it for sell in newegg.com
like 69 dollars ( mine is a R430 come in with 16pipe ,, can't really overclock. but who cares )
the performance is not that far from X1600...
 
It will be PCIe. Don't want to spend much more than $50. Gaming need not apply for this pc. The idea for this one is to allow max resouces go into sound processing.

I'm just looking for a reliable video card here. I know there are a lot of crap ones out there, and I don't konw much about the low end cards.
 
Seems like a 6600 or 6600gt would work. Pretty cheap right now (around 60 bucks).

I would get something like This it will get you by for what you need and is passively cooled so no noise either.
 
Thanks for the input guys, I will probably get one of those two.
 
The only drawback with that card is the fan. I would prefer passive cooling to minimize noise. This PC will be used for recording.
