    Looking for advice on a cheap graphics card that will allow seperate color profiles to be defined on each output.

    I'm going to upgrade my system and need to find a grapgics card that will allow me to calibrate my dual monitors with independent profiles.
    My current Radeon 9600 (AGP) allows it but unfortunitely I now need to jump to a PCI-E motherboard to run with an Intel dual core processor.

    The main usage is for Photoshop and RAW file convertion, so I don't a super fast gamers graphics card. Anything that allows dual color profiles will be just fine for my needs.

    Any advice please ?

    I have this one , I use it for photo work , and have two monitors on it with separate profiles made by a spyder calibrator , so I know it works ,

    Pretty good card , it has no fan either so its quiet !

    This one has a VGA and a DVI output , you may want dual DVI output , which are available from the same site , a little bit more expensive at about €110.

    I wouldnt call myself an expert on the latest cards , but as far as I know all the latest cards with dual output can be given separate profiles on each output.

    Thanks Mathis,
    What advantage is dual DVI output ?
    I'm running two Sony Trinitron 21" CRT's.

    Two DVI's would be useful if you were running two LCDs , but seeing as your running two CRT's you'll be fine ,dual DVI would be no benefit there , you will need one of these though ,

    this will allow you to connect the DVI port to the VGA for one of the CRT's. Most cards come with at least one DVI these days and one VGA.
