Looking for a card that will work with my older Core i7 mainboard (Dell 0X501H) which is PCI 2.0 x16 to drive a high pixel density monitor (3840 x 2160) at 60Hz. My research indicates that means it needs a DisplayPort 1.2 output.
The only cards I can find with those specs are workstation cards (e.g. Quadro K2200). That would be fine since I'm not a gamer and I primarily need this setup for work *but* I also need to be able to run my flight simulators which require DirectX.
Is there a unicorn out there? A PCI Express 2.0 x16 card with DirectX 10+ support that also provides DP1.2 output with 2160 resolution at 60Hz? Ignoring cost for now. If it meets the specs, I'd consider it.

a 3.0 lane is basically twice as fast as a 2.0 lane, but even new cards do not saturate the bus at this point. The PCIe bus is used for more than just graphics cards, the new M.2 interface uses them for SSDs also. Most MBs only have 16 lanes to work with in 3.0, so in SLI that means only 8 lanes per card, so faster is better, right?
