Good, cheap PCI-E video card w/ dual dvi?

[zerogear]

I'm looking for a good and cheap video card with two dvi, which I will have two of to hook up to 4 monitors (not really looking to play games, maybe just to run vista, and occassional desktop games). I'm currently looking at Gigabyte GV-NX85T256HP (http://www.newegg.com/Product/...064&Tpk=GV-NX85T256HP), but the temperature has me a little worried, does anyone have any other recommendations?

Good, & cheap....often they do not go together.

Consider:

http://www.newegg.com/Product/...x?Item=N82E16814121247

Lots to choose from, these are highest rated, less than about $110....

HD 3650 $44.99 after $15.00 Mail-In Rebate

I think this would suit your needs just fine.

And it is a little faster in some games than the 8600GTS

And here, it is ALOT faster than the 8500GT

Well, gaming is really not a factor, looking to use it more for workstation purposes. Thanks guys

What brand do you have now? Don't two gpu`s need to be the same brand to co-exist peacefully?

I would look at the low-end of the current generation of ati cards. ati seems to be slightly lower in power usage in 2d than nvidia.

Well, this is a completely new build, so at the moment I am looking at two of the HD3650s

SAPPHIRE 100235L Radeon HD 3470 256MB 64-bit GDDR3 PCI Express 2.0 x16 HDCP Ready CrossFire Supported Video Card - Retail

I'm thinking the HD 3470 might be better for your needs. Dual DVI and a nice large heatsink for quiet operation.

The reviews for that 3650 card say the fan is quite loud and using 2 of those cards might get a little annoying. I'd go with 2 of these i linked above for quiet operation and still good performance.
