I am running a AMD R9 290 for my 4k monitor, but I have a Radeon 5770 sitting around looking hungry for something to do.

What are some of my options with this card? I could use it to drive my second and even a third monitor. Aside from that what other options are available for abandoned video cards left to die in the electronic retirement home?
 
Solution
either use in in a spare rig or use it to power another monitor while gaming etc. not much you can really do, I have a few older cards lying around as well, I usually just give them away

MWillcox is looking for spare parts a little strange but if you really want to get rid of it.

He titled it "Looking for some new-ish hardware"

I asked and he said that he's building a PC for a friend but funds are lacking.

Second monitor option seems doable. I have two sitting around that I wanted to use for my graphic work. Seems like a good idea.
