Looking for a single slot video card capable of displaying to for displays, wouldn't be used for gaming at all, just displaying 2D data (something like airport arrival/departure screens)

I'd like at least 1080p, and prefer either HDMI or DVI output.

So far I've found this http://www.nvidia.com/object/product_quadro_nvs_420_us.html for about $450 on amazon, but was wondering if there was a any other options. I thought I saw a AMD/ATI one before but after searching everywhere I can't seem to find it.

Thanks
 
the 6950/70 both do quad video output. but not sure when we will see single slot versions. i think they said some time in march we will see the low end versions. but again I'm not sure if they will support quad video outputs.
 
If you must use single slot then the FireMV 2400 are the ATI equivalents to the Quadro NVS line. There are some consumer level cards from ATI that will do it as well if your monitors have Displayport for about a third of the cost. There are single slot Eyefinity5 5770 cards with five mini Displayports. You need Displayport monitors or you will need http://www.amazon.com/Accell-B087B-006B-DisplayPort-Single-Link-Certified/dp/B004071ZXA/ to convert for the displays so weight out the costs if you consider that route and don't have Displayport monitors. If it must be DVI then to my knowledge it is going to have to be workstation class cards like the Quadro NVS and FireMV.

Awesome info, yes looks like I'll go with the Quadro or the FireMV, its going to be a miniITX system so either I think will work well.

Thanks!
