Graphic card for 2x 1440p displays

[sla70r]

Hello,
I need a graphics card for my work computer that can handle two 1440p monitors. 2 display port outputs would be ideal. No gaming would take place on this computer, it has a i7 3770 processor. I will have photoshop on it , but very light use of it.

Wait until Vega's release until deciding if possible. Having more options to choose from can't hurt, and you might just save some money as well regardless of your choice, as compared to if you made a choice now.

I can't really wait as I need it at work... I was thinking a 1050i

if u r not gonna be gaming much, an rx480 4gb would be better...
but yeah waiting for a vega with hbm 2 cant hurt.

Since you are not gaming on it and just using light Photoshop than any video in the last 7 years will work for dual 1440P. If you don't mind ebay you can find a Quadro 4000 or FirePro V5900 for $60. Both have 2 display ports. Finding gaming cards with more than one displayport can be hard unless its fairly new. Workstation cards have been doing it for years now and the older ones are super cheap. Heck even a Quadro 600 will work. I got one on ebay last week for $20.

The other option is to get a HDMI to Active Display Port convertor. Those adapters are about $20. That way you can use gaming cards with only 1 DP.

FirePro V4800 $15

both the hdmi and displayport 1.2 can handle 1440p. and most cards now come with both of them 😉

If you going from HDMI to displayport it needs to be active, only Displayport is compatible for DVI/HDMI signal output, not HDMI to displayport. It will need to be converter using an Active Converter, NOT passive.
