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!

Ok, how about this. Taiidan suggested the WX4100 (thx!) which looks
awesome but it a bit outside my price range. I found the AMD Radeon Pro
WX 2100
(https://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=9SIA6ZP5X42735). That
seems to be pretty much the same, or more like a step down but similar
otherwise. Should that work ok with Qubes 4.0? It has 3 ports, is low
profile, supports 4k, etc which I think will suffice for me.
Any confirmation that this should work with Qubes 4.x w/o modifications
would really be appreciated!
