I would like a video card recommendation

[NaciosSr]

I am currently running a 2GB NVIDIA GeForce GT 420 in a HPE-510t Mini-Tower Computer.  I would like a 3GB video card that has 2DVI, 1VGA, 1HDMI our mini-HDMI monitor support.  What do you recommend I buy that is complatable with the computer that I have.

Thanks for any help you can give.

Hi,

Do you need four active monitors or perhaps just the ability to attach monitors with different video ports? would using some adapters be a problem?

Are you willing to use a 2GB card? 

Are you willing to replace the power supply?

Review this posted document for background information.  Do some measuring inside you PC and tell us how much room that is available for a double wide video card.

Do you have a budget amount in mind?

Hi,

This new NVIDIA 670 4GB will support four displays. This card in 9.5" in length so it should fit.  Measure inside your PC to be safe.  The detailed information is here.  $470  Review the maximum resolution.

This Corsair CX500 should have enough power for the above card. It's $40 after rebate.  You might want to consider the Corsair CX600 as it has a little more power. $50 after rebate.

This AMD Radeon AX7970 3GB has support four displays.  This card is 10.4" in length. $460 after rebate.  Review the maximum resolution.

If you are willing to drop back from 3GB to 2GB then there are other video cards available at a lower cost.

I really need to know what length card will fit in your PC.

yes, I am will to stay with a 2GB card.

Hi,

This Sapphire 6850 2 GB if you can still find it might be worth consideration. 

When you want to use 3+ monitors then one of the monitors must be native display port or you will need an AMD validated active display port dongle along with AMD Eyefinity.

Loved you last subjestion.  One more question: do you have a solution for two video cards GB cards?

Hi,

You will need a custom motherboard to take advantage of twin video cards (running in SLI or CrossFire).
