Hi all.

I am looking for a cheap passive graphics card to run 2x 1920x1080 monitors via DVI/HDMI. The most the card will be doing is running W7 desktop with Aero enabled and maybe a video running, no games will be played.

I was thinking of the Asus GT 520 Silent and hooking up the monitors via DVI and HDMI.

What do you think, will this do the job ok? If not could you please suggest an alternative.

Thanks
 
Haha, ok good find tbh.
Will there be any restrictions in what connections to use. They all have the ability up to 2 outputs obviously, but would any of these cards restrict me to having to use the VGA for one of the connections or will it be fine DVI + HDMI?
 
DVI + HDMI should be fine. It's two analog connections where you can sometimes encounter issues.
