Budget graphics card for non-gamer....

[PJD007]

Hi,

I'm just looking for advice for the best budget card to web surfing and wathing films, I have a Asus P8Z77-V PRO mobo and was running my TV off that but now I want to add a second monitor so I'm looking for a relatively cheap card:

Would this one be overkill ?

I noticed it has 3D which may be of use in future but not really a requirement now.

Thanks for any replies.

Your integrated graphics should support two monitors. I see no need for a card, though that one would be suitable for your needs.

I never thought of that !

However having a read on some other sites it sounds like I might be stretching it to run it off my mobo (I have an i53570k CPU), I'm running a 46" LCD and will be adding a 24" LED so I think I may need another card.

What resolution are your monitors? 1080p? If so you'll probably be fine.

Yeah 1080p.

I'll give it a crack and report back if no good.

Thanks.

If it doesn't work (or you want to add more screens later) a gt 640 or 650 would do great for something like $50.
