Hello there

can any of you recommend a GPU primarily for desktop use? It should be able to handle 2 screens
(one 1440p, one 1080p) with the option of adding a third screen, it should run quiet (I'd prefer passive
cooling) and it shouldn't cost a fortune. Good Linux compatibility is also required.

If you're not gaymen, the integrated GPU will be just fine to run three desktops at the those resolutions

Maybe but my board only has one digital out (DVI) and one VGA. So that's not gonna happen.

>>58727552
Can it handle SVGA?

are 480 worth getting?
whats the difference between gaming and armor models?

Just buy a GT 710. On Newegg it's about $45 US and it has HDMI, VGA, and DVD, passively cooled. Or you can get a secondhand gpu on ebay.

Does your motherboard support simultaneous use of the iGPU and a PCIe GPU?

If so, do dat
>>
>>58727516
This is pretty much the cheapest with three digital outputs:

If you're okay with your third one being VGA, an aforementioned 710 or something similar will do the trick.

Intergrated graphics may have two video outputs that can be used at the same time, but in 90% of the time, one is gonna be shitty VGA.
Otherwise you can always plug in a USB video out that works well, obviously wont play games on it.

I'm running a Dell Optiplex 880 at work, has VGA, and dlink out, and 2x USB DVI for 4 monitors total. Works fine.

o shit I forgot about that
(I'm not OP tho)

…if I have a Linux box, and I play games on my main monitor (AMD GPU), how does one of those interact with the whole system?

Can you drag windows back and forth between them?

If a USB video output is active, do games on all monitors get shit FPS? Or just the ones on the USB outputs?
(Can you watch the FPS go to shit and back as you drag the game to and from the USB monitor?)

RX 460 for cheap and modern. Older AMD GPUs are fine too, as long as they're GCN1.1 or above.

OP, do NOT listen to any faggot telling you to run an Nvidia GPU on Linux. The open source drivers are absolute trash and the proprietary drivers have screen tearing out the ass, plus a pain to set up. AMD graphics cards have great open source drivers now. If you're looking to play some basic Steam games (like TF2, CSGO etc), then an RX 460 will get you 1080p 60fps. If you want some more oomph, an RX 470 or 480 will do the trick.

>>58729413
On Windows it works fine, an Aero works fine between all windows, you can drag fine, and use a 3rd party monitor app.

There are not that many video cards out there that can output to 3 monitors, most do 2, and when you install a video card into a PC that has onboard video, it almost certainly gets disabled.

OP, if you only need basic use for multiple display, buy StarTech or HP brand USB monitor out cards, both are great, and around $50

Running a GTX 950 on Ubuntu 16.04 with proprietary drivers, literally no problems, no screen tearing, etc. And it was not a pain to set-up, just add a ppa and install the nvidia drivers. Kill yourself AMD shill.

you are paying a premium for passive cooling, but it is what it is.

What? In a sub-50$ price range maybe. Literally every modern gaymen card can do at least three monitors.
