Looking for a new graphics card
So I'm hunting for a new graphics card, and my set of requirements make this a difficult quest. I welcome all suggestions, either as comments, or as email.
I haven't seen any passive cards in the new R7/R9 lines from ATI, not sure if those will come out later only
Requirements
- MUST be supported by the open-source Radeon or Noveau drivers.
- MUST support at least 3 displays
- MUST be cost less than $300
- SHOULD occupy only one PCI-e slot (trying to avoid double-height cards)
- SHOULD be passively cooled, or after-market water-cooled
- NICE TO HAVE: good 3D performance
Options so far (for further review)
