what is a good video card if you dont play games?

I just need something that outputs to 2 monitors, a 27" and a 43"(not even at 4k)

my current one now staggers when I put a video on monitor 2

 

[itsyoung!!]

Just all sorts of bullshyt man. People were driving me nuts at Pax.

Are they all VR ready? Can I play everything in 4K with any of the new cards? Why can't a 980M run VR when a GTX 970 is VR ready? Isn't the GTX 970 just a GTX 770 refresher, so that means I can play VR right?

I can't complain because it's a nice side gig, but man some of these questions get annoying after a while.

you work for nvidia

fukk all thar VR shyt, whens the release date for the 1070 or 1080

if the 1070 is $320 again though its an easy cop over the 1080 at $500

if the 1080 $400 im getting day 1 though

My guess is the 1080 will be the same price as the 980, $550

i'm gonna chill with my 970FTW+ for a hot minute.

when the dust settles i'll think about an upgrade.
i gotta start thinking about my mobo and cpu soon.
i'm rocking an i5 3570k and an Asus P8Z77-V LX.

it's still holding me down well but within the next year i'm gonna have to start thinking about upgrading.

I can never do that to AMD, but I have been converted to the green team as much as I tried to fight it.
