Hi,
I have seen a few gfx card requests for "qubes compatible" and lots of
posts about gfx card issues so I wanted to be sure about my purcahse so
I will ask a similar question. I am in the market for a graphics card,
or more specifically increasing the number of ports as I am going from 2
-> 4 monitors. I figure I am going to need to get a graphics card for
this that has a minimum of 2 ports.
I have read quite a few posts regarding problems with NVIDA and AMD/ATI
cards/chipsets, but they seem to be my only option. From the posts I saw
it kinda seems that the AMD/ATI works a bit better, thoughts?
I am hoping those out there who have had "plug in and it just works"
experiences with graphics cards can chime in with their recommendations.
I am also hoping to get something as "future proof" as possible, so it
will admittedly be a balance, that said I don't need bleeding edge
either as I am not a gamer and don't do too much with video (does video
encoding count?).
I must have a minimum of two ports Other preferences are:
* I really really really want something that will work outa the box,
not really interested in recompiling the kernel as I have some seriously
defunt kernel karma
* DisplayPort would be nice but DVI will be fine
* low profile (hopefully not too wishful of thinking for a 2+ port
card), my box is actually pretty small.
* Lots memory I guess?
* Passively cooled would be nice.
In terms of expansion slots my box has 1 PCI-E X16 Gen2.0 (supports 3.0?
not wholly sure about this) and 1PCI-E X4
Oh, and on this machine I am using 3.2 but will of course upgrade to 4.0
once its final.
Thanks so much in advance!
