Guys, I know there are a million threads on this, but they all seem to have their own twists... I want a PCIe NVIDIA card that will support 2 DVI monitors. I think I want "passive", which means no fan right? At some point I want to load a second card, but at the moment I only need 2 screens. What would you recommend? Thanks...
Get the fan.....don't cut corners on your trading PC, the few bucks saved is not worth the comprise in performance. I have 6 of those 7950's and they are great cards and work beautiful. The cards I replaced were the stock ATI cards in My dell's, now their performance has truely been great.
Presuming you want them for trading and not gaming, the choice is obvious... Nvidia Quadro NVS... 280, 285, or 440 (quad)
