Looking for a replacement graphics card for my venerable Precision 650 workstation. I had an nVidia QuadroFX 500. Dell website lists Vision TEK 3450 PCI 512 MB DMS59 DDR2 Dual monitor and Vision TEK Radeon X1300 DMS59 256 MB GDDR2 PCI. Any other recommendations?

Well, you need an AGP 8x card. You also need to make sure your PSU can handle any card you add.

I don't see any workstation AGP cards on NewEgg. Maybe go to Ebay and get another nVidia QuadroFX 500? I see them for $10+.

Don't care about gaming, just decent level of performance in a workstation card. I would like to keep dual monitor capability. Can this be achieved with a single card with two DMS59 out connectors? My old card has these.
