I just bought a new computer: a desktop Windows 7, Intel machine (Ivy Bridge, i7 3.5 GHz) - a tower with plenty of room inside. This is an every 4 year ritual for me, buying a new tower -I've done it every 3-4 years for 20 years (4 years = a tick and a tock on the Moore's Law clock).Part of the ritual is setting up a dual monitor display, which I've also had for 20 years.The past ten years I've used 3 and now 4 monitors (more about why in a minute).I am now using two large video cards inside my tower, both from ASUS.One is an ASUS GT520 and the other is an ASUS Silent 210. I'll describe both here.(For my purposes they are functionally equivalent and both perform well.)Note: there are only two designers of graphics boards: Nvidia (GeForce) and AMD (Radeon).I know GeForce best, since their low-end cards are more suitable for my lowly needs.Also note: Nvidia Geforce is a design spec / chip set. Those chip sets will then be usedby many manufacturers to make the various video cards you see on Amazon.(Read the GeForce wiki.)1) ASUS (Taiwan), as a board manufacturer. I thoroughly trust ASUS QA. ASUS is among the world's largest and best manufacturers of motherboards and video cards.In the past I've also used cards by EVGA and MSI that were also ok. (Read the ASUS wiki.)2) Both the ASUS GT520 and ASUS 210 are totally silent. They are fanless.(This is absolutely essential for me.) Instead, they have humongous, aluminumheat sinks. I mention this, because they take a lot of room on the mobo.That's a key reason why I buy towers - to accommodate large PCIe cards.I've tested both under light loads for a week now. The GT520 heat sinkgets mildly warm, and the Silent 210, even less so. Fans are not needed.(Don't stress over their power specs - they don't consume that much.)When I went to my local Fry's Electronics, I noticed that ALL of the ASUS Silent210 cards had been purchased previously, returned, and repackaged.I have no idea why. (A guess is that other buyers may have discoveredthey didn't have room on their mobos.)3) Both these graphics cards are totally overkill for me. They are designed for gamers(that would be my son, eg), but are sufficiently low power that I don't mind.(Watch the fight scenes in The Avengers to see what graphics cards are really for.)4) It's essential for me to be able to drive 3 to 4 monitors. I was a stock trader for several years(a common "non-game" use of multiple monitors), but mainly have used them asan academic researcher. It's a great convenience to keep open several pdfswhile participating in a video conference and taking notes, eg. BTW, once you've set upyour dual monitors, download MultiMon Taskbar (which is free and a godsend).5) When buying video cards to drive multiple monitors, I strongly recommend shoppingonly from the Windows 7 compatibility list (if Win7 is your OS). Both these are on it.I first tried an older card (a 6200) that had me in BSOD/ safe mode hell for a few hours.(Expect bizarreness on your monitors until you load the drivers of any video cards and reboot.)6) Both these cards have identical output sockets: a DVI-D, a VGA, and an HDMI socket (for a tv monitor).I connect to the DVI-D and the VGA sockets of both cards. All displays are extremely sharp.(I mainly cover cognitive neuroscience, biotech, and AI for my website [...].My goal is to smarten humanity, so that we are suitable companions/ pets for post-Singularity robots.)

I bought this card as a way to give cheap basic graphics and HD video acceleration to an older PC that had onboard video. While this card will never appear on any gaming list or anything, it does suit that intended purpose just fine.My HD video playback went from very choppy and nearly unwatchable on the embedded GeForce 6150 chip, to smooth as butter on this GeForce 210 card. The only thing it really struggles with is extremely high bitrate HD streams from digital cable (so far the only offending channel I've run into is NFL Network HD). It's entirely possible that the ancient CPU in this older box is the bottleneck there, too. I haven't done any troubleshooting because so far it's just the one channel.The nicest feature of this card, besides the dirt-cheap price, is probably the silent heatsink instead of a fan. With this card in a system that was already built to be relatively quiet, obviously there's no additional noise, and I can barely tell that the PC is on without looking at it.
