The reason things break and you need to re-compile every time you
update your kernel with a new nvidia card in your system is
because
they make an effort to slow down the nouveau project and in the
case
of their brand new cards entirely block it via hardware code
signing
enforcement and not even providing any firmware blobs.
There are a variety of single slot half height low power AMD
cards but
if you want something newer the only choice is the more expensive
professional series with a fan - the WX4100 for instance is half
height but not passively cooled.
You can obtain a 54xx passively cooled card for around $30-50 but
that
is a quite old chipset (although you can install openradeonbios
on it)
Ok, 4.0 Qubes is out so I am more motivated than ever before. I
took a look at the WX4100 which looks fantastic, but perhaps is more
than I need (and more than I can afford).
It is a sexy card right?
*gorgeous*, like gfx card pr0n :)
I too saw the pretty blue color and it was
love at first sight xD even though I know that is an overpriced card.
I don't suggest buying an overpriced card like the 4100 just because
it is single slot/half height or w/e I would instead get a 5450 unless
you absolutely need something better.
I can certainly do with less, like I said I am not looking for bleeding
edge.
I can do without the passively cooled part, esp if it will bring the
price down a bit (I am hoping for something in the low 100s USD).
Yeah it will....you aren't intending for gaming right? I would get a
5450 or 5470 they come in passively cooled and half height.
Nope, no gaming, just multiple monitors photo editing, occasional video
encoding etc
In terms of requirements, I suppose (to simplify things) the main
criteria I have are low 100s USD, low profile, and at least two
ports, though 4 would like the WX4100 would of course be awesome. I
am totally open to used, and am not looking for bleeding edge.
Get a 5450 for $30 bucks I sugg
Thanks (very much) for that. That is def a sweet spot in terms of price.
Because I can't leave good enough alone 8O I started looking around for
something similar, that was AMD, and had the ports I was hoping for
(instead of buying cables like hdmi 2 DVI etc).
I found the AMD-Radeon-HD-6570
(https://www.ebay.com/itm/HP-AMD-Radeon-HD-6570-1GB-DDR3-PCIe-x16-DP-DVI-Video-Card-637184-001-637997-001/232686259800?hash=item362d2e8e58:g:JfIAAOSwY~1Z86qr)
which conveniently has DP and DVI (not HDMI or VGA). Thoughts? (thanks
for your patience/help!)
