If you have any recent Intel they will drive 2 monitors on the open
source monitors very well for standard desktop use. Failing that any of
the older NVIDIA cards should work fine. I'm running a passively cooled
Nvidia GT610 which cost me about £40 a few years ago. In my experience
running two cards just causes problems and sadly even though I don't
agree with some of the NVIDIA ways of doing things, AMD GPUs are still a
bit crashy (or they overheat like crazy on the linux drivers and spin
all the fans up).
One caveat, I don't know what driver versions Centos 6 has for the open
source graphics and I have had freezes with the NVIDIA blob drivers on
occasion.
Short story, Intel if you can (but not Skylake yet), failing that Nvidia
on the open source drivers or the blob if necessary.

I would like to set up dual monitors for both of our Rivendell

latest Rivendell version.
o Which video cards work well with Centos 6 and Rivendell?
o Has anyone set up dual displays in Centos 6 without a lot of trial
and error with video driver versions?
o Is it more cost/performance effective to have one card with two
video outputs, or two cards of the
same model?
All comments welcome.
