Second monitor graphics card for CustoMac Mini 2011
Hi, I've spent the last hour or so searching for an answer to this but can't seem to find it.
I have a 2011 Customac mini (sandybridge) I made and has been running basically very well since I had it - about 2 years. I have a video editing job coming up and would like to add a second monitor and my understanding is I can add a graphics card. The second HDMI on the mother board doesn't work & I don't want to use VGI. It doesn't have DVI
My understanding is I need a low power card and the problem is that the 3 that are mentioned in Tony's build instructions are no longer available.
Can someone recommend (or refer me to thread) a low cost, low power card that would fit in the APEX MI-008 Mini-ITX with 250w PSU and give me a second monitor? Obviously I am a newbie but can any of the cards that will work in this set up work natively under 10.8.3.
Any insight appreciated, Thanks
