What is the best 2D card for dual 1600x1200?

I'm doing lots of business type graphics, realtime charting, etc... mobo has PCIE 2.0 slots. No gaming.

just pick any cheapest card that u can get, u don't need a high end card.
HD 4650 is just more than enough..

Anybody know of some actual benchmarks of 2d performance?

I don't think they make benchmarks of 2D apps. I used a Geforce 7100GS 128MB while my other card was being RMA'ed, and it worked fine for all 2D apps. It even played CS:S at 1280x800 and low settings. I agree with wa1 that you should get the cheapest card you can find. A 4650 would be perfectly fine for office apps.
