Can anyone help me pick out a budget friendly (sub $200) graphics card?

  • Doesn’t have to be current generation

  • I won’t be gaming at all on the PC

  • Needs to run well on Linux

  • Must run 3 monitors

  • Biggest workout it will get is streaming security cams on one screen, full screen video on another.

  • Power supply is only 295W and I’d rather not upgrade it.

Any help is much appreciated!

    To be honest, I don’t think I’ve ever tried to install the Nvidia drivers on Debian before. Certainly not within the last 5 years.

    But my point still stands. In just about all the major desktop distros it’s trivial. In fact, many of the popular distros will install the Nvidia drivers during the OS installation itself. You don’t even need to do anything post-install. And other distros, like Ubuntu, it’s a single click in a settings window.
