Need advice for a second video card

[Chaotic42]

Hey all.

I'm trying to get a second video card in my system to go along with my 4870x2. Unfortunately I only have the one x16 slot. The rest are PCI or x1 slots. I'm kind of scared of running an nVidia card with my ATI card, but ATI's PCI offerings are... slim. I'm looking for something which can handle dual 1920x1200 monitors and can actually play video and whatnot. Quality is important. The connections need to be some combinations of Dual-link DVI-D, HDMI, or DisplayPort.

Anyone have any ideas?

This is the only thing I can find, but it seems pricey for what you get.

Thanks!

PCI video cards are expensive anyway. I have heard of a few success stories where people buy a low end PCIex16 card and 'modify' the PCIex1 slot so that the card would fit, but I would leave it to you to decide whether or not you are willing to do that.

Good luck!
