Hi, I have an old desktop that I've been using as a HTPC for many years now. It's been working perfectly until a few months ago when the video card died. I'm looking for suggestions for a replacement card that is less than $100 CAD, preferably closer to $50. I don't play any video games on it. I only use it to watch movies with Kodi on a 1080p TV via HDMI.
My case tends to overheat so a card that can stay relatively cool would be nice so that it doesn't die too soon. I have a regular mid tower size case. My only main requirement is that it be a Nvidia chipset card.
Here's a newegg (Canada) link to search results for Nvidia chipset cards between $50 and $100 to make it easier: http://www.newegg.ca/Product/ProductList.aspx?Submit=ENE&N=100007708%20600030348%204026%204027&IsNodeId=1&bop=And&Order=BESTMATCH&PageSize=30
I haven't bought a video card in so long that I don't even remember what to look for. So any suggestions would be really appreciated!
