Inexpensive DVI card?

[Whitedog]

3D is NOT required here. All I need is a nice 2D video card with DVI output (We're programmers). It's for work, and the CHEAP phux don't want to spend monney.

I just need to know if there are any good cards for around <$50 that can be had?

Aren't Matrox cards really good in this area?

Thanks

I'm curious to the 2D quaility on these cards... hmm..

Thanks for the links though. 🙂

Leadtek = BEST 2D quality, but for the price range, I believe you'll be quite satisfied with the card link i've provided, Albatron makes decent cards. And the nvidia card has better: memory (samsung), speed, and memory bandwidth, all for a few bucks more. The cheapest Leadtek card with a DVI input I could find was for $93 dollars.

Between a 9200SE and GeForce4 MX440... Same price

Which one would you go for? For DVI video out...

 

[SneakyStuff]

The mx440, simply because the quality of parts used is better. You just get more for what you pay for, although I believe the card with samsung ram was sold out last time I checked.

If you're running on true DVI, all that 2D quality discussion is rather completely moot. It's digital, there is no possibility for loss of pixel edge sharpness or color accuracy.

Ye olde Radeon 7000 will serve you well, and you'll like its fanlessness. However, much more current 9200SE cards are only a few bucks more.

yea, what he said, it really doesnt matter for what you're using it for
