Question Graphics card with DP for work

[ShaQBlogs]

What are my choices for a reliable cheap graphics card with DisplayPort for work, no gaming (Must have v1.2 for chaining)?

Would prefer it to also have 1 HDMI, but can live without it as on board has 1 HDMI.
Total of 3 monitors, 2 with DP chained, and 1 TV with HDMI (Audio must be transmitted hence HDMI, not DVI).

Prefer budget 60-70. Willing to push to 100$ if required.

From a new standpoint, cards like a GT1030 or RX550 (or better) would be more than capable. I think 900 series GPUs from Nvidia should be fine too, all depends whether you want to go new or used.

Strictly workstation speaking. The WX series is great. I dont know what work you're performing, but the WX 2100 will provide you with the displays you need and the performance albeit for a bit more than your price range. It would do a better job than a 550 or 1030

Looking for new ones.
Can you share links please.

550

As a value for money/resale option though, an RX570 would be worth considering:

It's more money, but an order of magnitude faster - provided your PSU can power it.
Totally overkill for what you need, but should still be able to recoup ~$50 after a few years of use... Although that's total speculation of course, no way to know with certainty.

The DDR4 version is available for about 10$ less at amazon.
There are 2 available sizes. Low profile & ITX?
I have an full ATX case. Will it fit?

 

[Barty1884]

Provided it has DP (some of them are DVI + HDMI only), you'll be fine.

Yes, both the LP and ITX will fit in your case. The LP will ship with a bracket for fullsized towers - although I wouldn't spend more for a LP variant.

Just bumped into this one.
60$, designed for multiple monitors. 2 DP ports, v1.2.

Would you suggest the 1030 over this? I don't game.
