I need a graphics card that will support display port for Acer pc and Eizo monitor (using adobe PS & Lightroom). Have an Acer TC-605 with an nvidia geforce gtx 745 4 Gb which only has a HDMI output.
Any suggestions for a compatible card?
Will I need a new power supply?
 
The Acer website is listing the supplied PSU at 200W, if this is true I would replace it before I used a discreet video card. Otherwise you would be limited to a 60W TDP GPU or lower. The only card that I see as an improvement is the GTX 750 Ti.

If it was me I would replace the PSU and get a card better than the 750 Ti. But first what are you using the computer for? Maybe you don't need a really fast card.
 
A 750 Ti will never run on a 200 watt power supply, especially one in an Acer system which uses cheaper components. If the system turns on with it, it will crash under load.

I don't think even a regular 750 will run in that system without a new power supply.

Something like this may work http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=9SIA24G28N3272

Without a power supply upgrade you are a bit limited in speed of card with a display port you can get.
