Hello everyone,

Is there anybody who can recommend me a cheap video card (the only requirements: 1gb, and nvidia), that works with two monitors without problems?

Currently I have a Gainward GTS 450GS, and first monitor is on hdmi, second is on VGA. They used to work in OS X El Capitan when i tried, but the fonts in the whole OS were blurry, even if it was 1080p in graphics settings. Plus, the pc was crashing very often: I've read that someone else with a GTS450 had the same problem (was also using dual monitors).

Thank you for your recommendations in advance!

You could find yourself a nice clean second hand GTX 650 or maybe a GTX 760 both of those cards are native in OS X.
 
Thank you! I might consider buying the 650 one. More recommendations are welcome, meanwhile :)

I just did a build using nVidia GT740 - No problems running dual monitors.. (DUAL DVI)

No Injection required

Thanks sir! That one looks like a good deal as well! Esp. that you can confirm by yourself that it works with two monitors.
