Hello all,

I just recently purchased the above computer. I was disappointed to see that the onboard graphics only has VGA and not a DVI port. :??: [VGA signal Looks BAD on LCDs right?]

My other disadvantage is the power supply is rated 180W. :(

Are there any good PCI express x16 Video cards with atleast 128MB and DVI-D and/or HDMI and/or VGA?


Thanks,

You could try this card.
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Prod [...] 6814121259

They are very low power, should fit a low profile case, and has HDMI.

(Note: I finid the "Crossfire Ready" description just too funny)

It doesn't explicitly state wattage rating WHAT IF IT BURNS MY PC's motherboard :(

I think low profile means small in size :heink:


Does Tom roam around forums? :o

Because I work for ATI and helped Design the Card.
There is a chance non-reference cards may vary slightly.
