What graphics card works OOB with HDMI and DVI? (Latest Chameleon with graphics enabler = ''Y" and Retail 10.6.3 disc)

It has to work with 2 displays. 1 Samsung TV with a HDMI cable and 1 HDMI monitor (DVI to HDMI adapter).

Both are 1080p. I know one of these below will be sufficient, but I need to be sure what model etc. :-).

 

-GT220 ?

-GT240 ?

-GT9400 ?

-GT9500 ?

GT240 is fine OOB.

With Graphics Enabler.

The others should as well, not sure about GT220.

 

So far, it's looking a lot like GT240, especially since they are actively being fire-saled (even EVGA is emptying the bins).

 

Consider this as typical - http://www.microcenter.com/single_product_...duct_id=0325137

 

Note that the pre-rebate price is $69.99. (If you do everything right, you get basically two-thirds of that back.)

 

I had to actually go back and take another look. Being as this card is specifically for Hack duty (Windows and Linux are fine as they are with AMD power, thank you very much, and I'm in no hurry to do any graphical jiggery-pokery there), it's a relative bargain (even at the pre-rebate price).

 

That's what's all the more frightening about the GT240 (and doubtless makes a lot of us with AMD GPUs rather upset).

 

It's mostly single-slot, competes (outside of Hackery) head-up with HD5450 (every which way, including price), yet it's supported, and HD5450 is out in the cold (worse, it's as Plug and Play as Hackery GPUs get).
