I'm looking for a specific type of video card. I have a HP slimline desktop with a 180 watt power supply. This limits the type of card I can install. It's a standard PCI Express slot, but being a slimline case I have to use a low profile card. This is the exact tower. https://support.hp.com/us-en/document/c05737506
I'm needing a card that has either 2 HDMI ports or 1 HDMI & 1 DVI port. I'm using a TCL 32" 1920x1080 TV as my main monitor via HDMI. This is the only type of input on this TV.
My second monitor (actual monitor) is a 25" Samsung 1920x1200 with HDMI, DVI and VGA. Right now I've got it hooked up VGA since that's the only other option on the back of the tower. I don't do any gaming, just general work.
I'm not sure if it's a setting or what the issue is. I've tried all different settings and the picture on the Samsung is stretched past the edges and I just cannot get it to fit properly. I have to run it at 1600x1200 in order to use it, but that leaves the image fuzzy and less than optimum. I didn't have this problem before. My setup before was the same tower, the same Samsung 25" monitor as my primary via HDMI and my second monitor was a Samsung 19" via VGA. OS has always been Linux Mint or Manjaro.
So, any recommendations for a reasonable priced video card or other solution? Maybe someone has one laying around they would sell?
