Well, this is the card you need to look for:

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16814150086

What you are looking for is apparently pretty rare, but that does have everything you ask. The USD is $120, so after the stupid increase in price, and coversion, it should still be way under your pricerange.

Good luck finding it in a canadian shop :/

oooo... look at that. i found it on tiger direct. i was looking for ati on tiger direct.
thanks.

Typo, perhaps? :p

Chill out? And you say I attack every post you make.

There used to be tons of 6800 Ultra dual DVIs for AGP, so I don't see why there wouldn't be any now. Trust me, I know because that's all that was out at the 6800 release (why I got a GT instead of an Ultra actually)

yay $202

also, yes there are new ones, i know compusa has them.

Everything up to the Radeon X850 XT PE and GeForce 6800 Ultra/GTX is available in AGP. X1000-series and 7000-series cards will only ever be PCI Express, in spite of the false rumors.

The X800-X850 is probably the most mature of the ATI cards. With an X800 Pro Vivo you might be able to unlock it to a X850 XT PE, and that's just for something like $160 USD. I believe Rob did it successfully. It's something to consider, but frankly your best option is still going to be one of the 6800s because of the improved driver support and feature set.

There are 0 at newegg, there is only one at tigerdirect.com (and its way out of his pricerange, at $360USD), and there are none at any chain stores.

His only chance would be ebay as posted above, which would have a used card of questionable reliability (although that rater is good, so I doubt it would be an issue).

That, and the card linked above doesn't have a driver CD, any of the adapters (not that he will need them, but still), and after the $20USD in shipping, would put him over his budget still. (262CDN)

I've looked hard, guys. Besides ebay (and even then there's little to no chance), finding exactly what he needs just isn't made anymore. It's all PCI-Express now.

On second thought, there isn't enough information here.

Evad, do you want 2x DVI-D output, or do you want Dual-Link DVI? Two monitors, or one really big one?

In either case - as far as I know, only the X1000-series of ATI cards provides either of those features. I think you're doomed to buy a PCI Express machine and/or a Mac.

i do have to stick to the budget. it's someone elses money (i usually do the shopping for about 10 different people i know and then advise them on what thier options are based on thier criteria).
the first card CM posted is good (although it's not ati).

[edit]JonC', it's for 2 monitors.

Okay, didn't check crapUSA, (I do so hate that store) but nonetheless, its $429.98.

yes but i get discounts there, so it would be much less for me

It's still CompUSA. My skin would ignite into flame, and my bodily fluids would turn to acid if I ever stepped foot in that horrid store again :/

When i go in, they know my name, get what i need without me having to look for it, and everything is usually cheaper then getting it on newegg. Plus they have my billing info on file so i dont have to do any checking out.

Yay for buisness sales.

my friend and i walked into compusa once. the guy started walking up to us even before the automatic door closed behind us. and before the guy even said anything to us my friend didn't even look at him and said 'NO!'. it was hilarious. i couldn't stop laughing.

So other than the fact you've been proven wrong many times now, all you have left as far as arguments go is the fact that it's over his budget. In that case, why did you flame me for my post? Who knows, I figured that 6800s might be down to 200-ish somewhere. I was just offering a suggestion of a card that I know had two DVI slots.

In conclusion: Suck yo' momma.

A few months ago I spent a large amount of cash on a dual output video card. One VGA one DVI. The DVI does not work. Crap.

This is what warranties are for :p

You didn't force a VGA plug into it, did you? :p

Just curious but what exactly is PCI Express? Is it a new motherboard slot for video cards that's replacing the AGP slot?

yes.

Radeon 9600 256mb AGP dual DVI - $128 USD @ Newegg

Geforce 6600 256mb AGP dual DVI - $119 USD @ Newegg

Quadro FX4000 256mb AGP dual DVI - $1,499 @ Newegg

Granted, they don't ship to Canada..but maybe you could find one elsewhere.

Basically, yeah.

Not just AGP. It's also replacing PCI.

Something tells me that'll take a bit longer than it replacing AGP.

At first I thought this was serious...

The worst part is I just realised if I ever want a flat panel.. I have to get a new video card.

[QUOTE=Dj Yoshi]Something tells me that'll take a bit longer than it replacing AGP.[/QUOTE]
Yeah and VHS will be around FOREVER!

[QUOTE=Dj Yoshi]Something tells me that'll take a bit longer than it replacing AGP.[/QUOTE]Everything is already available in PCI Express. The only company too retarded to make PCI-E hardware is Creative, but that shouldn't be a surprise.

I think the switch will happen quite soon, although most mobos will probably keep a legacy internal PCI bus for PATA to sit on.

My first LCD was analog only - the one I have now has dual inputs - analog and DVI.

Yeah, but the FULL switch from AGP to PCI-E was a while ago :p
