Dr. C Posted March 26, 2008 Share Posted March 26, 2008 Hi everyone, I`m looking to get a replacement for my onboard GMA950, as I am tired of the problems with it in Leopard The new card should have 2 working DVI outputs (or DVI and HDMI - as long as it works, I don`t mind), passive cooling, trouble-free installation and it should be really cheap (I don`t care about performance). Can anyone help me out and give me a hint? Thanks, Dr. C Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr. Jibe Posted March 29, 2008 Share Posted March 29, 2008 I am using a passively cooled MSI 7600GT with 2 DVI ports. It's called MSI NX7600GT-T2D256EZ and I got it on eBay for 35 EUR incl. shipping. Runs without a problem, supports QE/CI using nvinject. cheers, jibe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How cheap is cheap? nkear5, I would say the price on eBay should be less than 100$ / 75€. Thanks Dr C Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr. Jibe Posted March 31, 2008 Share Posted March 31, 2008 Dr. Jibe, thanks for your tip! Sounds promising. Do you have tested that both DVI outputs are working 100%? No, currently I only run one 20" wide - tonight I can try to connect another 20" to the other port and see what it does. I will keep you posted. regards, jibe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr. Jibe Posted April 1, 2008 Share Posted April 1, 2008 sorry that it took a day longer than planned. I just hooked up another 20" widescreen and no problems whatsoever. And in System Profiler it looks like this. Sorry, now I have to re-connect the 2nd screen again to my wife's iMac other I will feel physical pain :-) hope this helps! jibe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
