Is it for gaming? Do you have a certain budget?

Its actually for some bs photo editing software she paid for - won't install because of no opengl.. so the cheaper the better, $150 or less is cool , but she does need the dual monitors (  2x24") Thanks again for your time Bud

Shame I can't help you much. I detest windows 8 with a burning passion.. However, that being said I'm a heavy ATI fanboy.. they're cheaper and the cards work great. A lower end card I know can do two monitors. I've seen my girlfriend pull it off with an 5580 so anything modern should be able to do it like my 7780? Look around. It might even be nice to buy a last gen card cheap.. or whatever is onsale

Thanks , just to be sure will that card fit the motherboard? thats my main concern right now , I have a box of video cards and none fit (but they are all old) ... Thanks Again Bud

Why not install Win 7 and get the ATI Graphics working?

I understand but windows 8 is already installed

heres an insane version of the card I'm running. I got the number wrong I'm running 7750. its a great cheap card. Was able to run saint rows 4 better then the the CPU allowed.  and the fact they make a version that supports 4 freaking monitors means I think the regular style I got

Should work perfectly 

Pros, Small profile, Fits in one PCI-E slot, Doesn't need an external power supply! EDIT: windows 8 based drivers are available! So it will work with windows 8!

Con's its a cheap card.. So don't expect to be playing many top of the lines games!
