Video Card Recommendation

I'm looking for a video card for a computer I will not game on. Computer is primarily used for photo editing, but I also occasionally edit family videos as well. I currently have an i5 2500k processor, Asus P8z68-v Motherboard, and 8 gig RAM. I've been using the on board video up until now. The reason I need to add a card now is because I need to be able to sometimes output to my monitor and to my 65" TV at the same time, for presentations. So basically, I just need something with dual HDMI that will be solid, and will be fairly quiet (doesn't need to be silent, but my PC is pretty quiet as is and I'd like it to stay that way).

I've been out of the loop of the PC world for a while now, and I have no idea what to look for. Any help would be appreciated.
 
There are not a lot of video cards with 2 HDMI outputs. You may be better off buying a card with 1 HDMI and 1 DVI and buying an adapter. You could get a card for like $30 and spend less than $10 on an adapter.

Will any card that has both an HDMI and DVI output them at the same time?
 
I'd pick this card for native 2x HDMI support:

It's worth paying a little extra for if you value cool and quiet operation. It's also quite small which could be beneficial if you have a small case.

The other option would be this, it's significantly cheaper but longer. I'd imagine it would be quiet if you're not gaming. If your case can fit it it's probably not a bad choice. Be aware that it is a low profile card:

I'd recommend a workstation card. Only problem with that is they don't offer hdmi. They usually come with display port. You could get an adapter.

the firepro W4100 is a good option. Which would be more ideal for your purposes (photoshop etc). However the 750ti is also a great option for you as you can get dual output hdmi with those and cuda cores accelerate photoshop as well.
