I need help choosing a video card for my system.
My priorities:
1) Should be able to run off a single 6-pin power connector.
2) The latest architecture, all latest APIs support (Open CL, Open GL, DirectX) for the longest projected driver/compatibility support.
3) Low power consumption and _quiet_(!!)
4) Should be able to run at 2.6k x 1.6k (would be great if it could run 4k, but probably not)
5) All necessary connectors (don't want any headaches)
6) Stable drivers
7) Good 2D and OpenCL performance
What is not important - 3D games (I don't play). Well, maybe if it can run Civ V at good resolution (at least 1080p) if I ever decide to in the future.
Price - within reason (say, to $300 - should be enough?).
I have i7-2600k, 430W power if it matters.
