Hello GH'ers.
I'm getting a new monitor, probably a Dell
Ultrasharp p2415q with nice color management and 4k resolution. I will need a video card capable to drive those 4k at 60Hz via DisplayPort. I think a nvidia GTX 750 should be good enough and ASUS has a couple of models with great noise control. So far, this is what I have in mind, but maybe I'm doing a terrible mistake by getting one of these cards, so any advice will be wonderful.
Asus GeForce GTX 750-DCSL 2GB GDDR5
- No fans at all
- Around 130EUR
Asus GeForce GTX 750 Ti Strix OC 2GB
- More power than the one above
- Fans are turned off if not needed.
- Around 180EUR
I use Debian as unique OS on a i5 2500K with 16Gb RAM. Right now I use an HD screen as the main monitor plus a small 4/3 secondary monitor for console, instant messaging and mail. The setup is mainly for desktop apps and virtual machines. The only game I play (best stress killer) is Sauerbraten (if you don't know it, check
http://sauerbraten.org/) and both cards are more than capable to run it.
I'm still not sure if this is going to be good. It's a lot of money and a lot of questions like: "is a GTX 750 enough?", "if I use the display port, can I attach a secondary low res monitor on a DVI output?", "can I use a cheap passive card for a secondary monitor?"...
Any advice to this poor Spanish guy will be appreciated. Thanks a lot.
(and sorry for my bad English)
