Submission + - Do cheap DVI video cards exist?
iansmith writes: "I have a new Gateway computer hooked to a flat screen monitor. The problem is the video out is only VGA which does not look as sharp as a DVI output.
To help with this, and also to let me run dual displays, I want to add a video card to the machine.
In the past I would just grab a standard VGA card for $20, plug it in and go, not needing fancy 3D graphics.
I do not want to spend $300 for a gaming video card... does anybody make a video card with DVI out that is not a souped up 3D powerhouse, with a price tag to match? Even worse, all new machines seem to be PCI-Express and so that makes it even less likely I'll find something affordable. I can't even use an old 3D card from home.
What would you all suggest I do?"
