Question Graphics card for Lenovo P720 workstation

[albert.vilella]

Hi,

We bought a Lenovo P720 workstation and chose not to have an NVIDIA graphics card with it. It arrived today, and there is no graphics card at all, and no HDMI input to plug the screen.

We want a graphics card that won't cause troubles with Linux, so we rather choose one with a bog-standard Intel graphics card on it, and an HDMI port where to plug it.

Does anybody know of such a card? There are PCIe x4, x8 and x16 ports available. See specs below:

We don't need any expensive graphics card, it will be used as a scientific computation workstation but without any GPU capabilities.

So any graphics card that will play nice with Linux will do.
