Ahoy maties!<br>
<br>
The time has come for me to upgrade some of my antique hardware, and I<br>
have ordered myself a nice mega-monitor with the ass-whooping resolution<br>
of 2550X1440. This means the old VGA on board won't do and I need to<br>
look at higher-end stuff (DVI-D at minimum). I googled this issue quite<br>
a bit, limiting google for results only from the last month and still<br>
I'm not sure who do we not-hate this month (I suppose I'm looking at ATI<br>
and nVidia)<br></blockquote><div><br></div><div>First, you need a card with DVI-DL (Dual Link) and not DVI-D, or else it won't work on your new monitor.</div><div><br></div><div>As for which card: I would recommend any nVidia based 6XX. The 610/620 are very low end (~200 NIS) models, but they are slow, specially if you use dual monitors, but they could get the job done, just don't expect stellar 3D performance. </div>
<div><br></div><div>650 and up models are great, but they cost more.</div><div><br></div><div>Hetz</div><div><br></div><div> </div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex">

Requirements:<br>
- have it play nice with Xorg (Debian/Ubuntu).<br>
- preferably FOSS drivers, but only if rock solid.<br>
- preferably a GPU that supports CUDA/OpenCL (though the only client I<br>
have for it ATM is BOINC <a href="https://boinc.berkeley.edu/wiki/GPU_computing" target="_blank">https://boinc.berkeley.edu/wiki/GPU_computing</a> )<br>
- preferably dual-port, so I can send a signal to a secondary<br>
screen/projector.<br>
- No special gamer mad features needed. The most 3D I'll do with it is<br>
probably Desktop Cube :)<br>
<br>
Thanks in advance!<br>
