Looking for a cheap gpu to run 2 extra monitors

[kir13y]

I currently have this system: http://pcpartpicker.com/b/xjf8TW. I am currently running 3 monitors on a pluggable USB adapter, 2 on a gtx 480 and my main 1440p 144hz on my gtx 1080. When I tried to run more than a single monitor on my gtx 1080, the main monitor flickered. To solve this, I added the gtx 480 to run the other 2 monitors. I would really like to get a quieter and safer (less likely to burn my house down) card. The 480 is also really hurting the temps in my system. I was looking at the Nvidia GeForce GT 710 (2GB passive dual slot) or Nvidia GeForce GT 730. Are these cards still supported? Will I run into any issues with GeForce experience compatibility?

Thanks

The flickering is probably because you have a 60 and a 144 hz monitors on the same card, I have seen quite a few posts with this setup and flicker issues.

How is your budget for the extra monitor setup? Can you use this https://www.amazon.com/VisionTek-Radeon-7750-GDDR5-MiniDP/dp/B00C7EPSVS ? You can then get rid of those USB video connections also.

Yeah. I have a 144hz monitor and the rest are 60hz. I only have about $50 and the usb connectors seem to be working fine. I could always get a second 710/730 if I do run into problems with the usb. Wouldn't I run into issues using both a Nvidia and an AMD card in the same build? or is that not a thing xD. But is the gt 710 still supported? I just don't want to run into the issues with my gtx 480 not being recognized by software like CAM.

Not sure what you mean about issues with nVidia and AMD in the same build, isn't that exactly what you have now with the 1080 and the RX 480? There were issues in Vista I think, not now, Windows can run with two separate video card drivers. GT 710 is in the same range as the 730, 750, so yes they are supported, it's only one generation old.

I have a gtx 480 not rx 480. If i haf a rx 480, i would t be worried but ive got the space heater gtx 480. I will prob end up getting the 710 just to keep it low profile and quiet. Thanks the help.

As @Hang-The-9 said: You can get 2x (or 1x) from the gtx 700 series.
