a good cheap video card for linux - xbmcnights - 2013-02-07

anyone suggest a good video card for linux use? would like to keep it lower then $60

ive already ordered a mini hdmi for use with nvidia since it works best on linux.

GT 610 or GT 520

That should do you just fine. $20.

thanks!

does the CUDA Cores make a big difference?

I can't personally say as I haven't owned multiple nvidia cards.

In general more cores are better, but for HTPC purposes you should fine with any GT 610 or 520 card.

Start doing some gaming or editing then you have to worry.
