Hey guys I have two monitors that I want to hook up and setup two displays. They support DVI, HDMI and VGA. I am wanting the cheapest best card to support two monitors? I do not want to sacrfice HD Video though or blu ray. I am not into gaming but just want to have two monitors for the work that I do. I have a Asus Maximus Hero Vi with just HDMI. Any ideas!! Thanks!!

What work do you do? An R9 290, while a great card, might be a colossal waste of money for you. It could also be very underpowered, it all depends on what you want to do on those 2 monitors.

the OP said that he is not gaming so...

any GPU will work for you. you can run off of the integrated GPU as you are now and the second can run off of anything on the market just fine and in all honesty any GPU will power 2 gpu's just fine.

i cannot believe for such a nice motherboard it only has one output for video.

I run 2x 1080p monitors off of the motherboard and a 1440p off of the CF7950's

It is is such a great Motherboard for Overclocking and all. I currently have my settings at 4.5ghz and (2000) RAM. I am just not into much gaming lately. I play more on my PS4 than anything. So can someone recommend a Video GPU for under 100 or even maybe under 50$ I am still wanting to display 1080 and watch blu ray, ripped videos, Youtube etc at full HD.
