best graphics solution for workstation

[cluelessgenius]

so since lmg and basically everybody says low end cards are stupid, what would be a good solution if i just needed graphics.

would be fine with integrated graphics but if i was going for something like a 5820k i would something for graphics.

so if kept in mind that there will be no gaming what so ever what would be the cheapest/best graphics solution for something like that?

just use the integrated solution, for the  5820k  as it does not have any, use an old card, like a 750, or a really old one, take a look at amazon or smth

a good one would be an old GT8800, as it is about on par with the lower HD series from intel

I take that you don't need any GPU acceleration whatsoever and all you want is essentially driving displays? 

GT210 for example. Or HD5450. Unless you need 4k. Although personally I'd go with a mid-range GPU like 750 (there's a passively cooled 750/750 Ti on the market - Palit KalmX and some other variants!) or a 950/60.  

Not all low-end GPUs are bad, and they aren't bad for every use scenario. They're just not a good bang for a buck.

Everything will work. 730 included.

Point is, low-end cards are bad for gamers and gamers only. And that was the point of the video, which was certainly gamer-oriented. If you're after gaming performance, then forget about low-end cards. If you just need something to drive displays - feel free to get a 730 if you like it.
