I am not looking for any special performance from this GPU, but I don't know how to look for a GPUI that would fit these requirements, or even if it exist, but here's what I'm looking for:

- Uses a PCI slot, NOT a PCI-E slot. 

- Under $100

- Allows for one or more displays (Preferably with a VGA, HDMI, or DVI-D output)

- Will have enough performance to use google chrome, watch youtube, etc. (In other words, can handle light loads)

Any advice? 

In case you're wondering, the reason I need this is because I have all 3 display outputs on my main GPU taken and would like to add 1 or 2 more displays to my setup.

Thanks, 

- E as in Eye

Fuck if I know. 

Okay. In order to give you the best answer, we need to know that, to determine exactly what specs, what slots, etc, you have available to you.

 

Look on the motherboard itself. There should be a model number. Write it down or take a picture, and post back here.

 

Out of curiosity, what slot is your primary GPU in? PCIe? AGP? PCI?

My main GPU is in a PCIe.

The only other slot that has the potential to take a GPU is a PCI (not a pci e), about the same size as an x16. Little smaller.

Please get the model number and get back to me. Or take a picture of your slots in total, if you cannot find the model number.

 

However, if you decide not to do this for whatever reason, just buy literally any PCI GPU. You're likely going to have to buy used, since I don't know of any PCI GPU's still in production. Try to get one of the later generation ones, as new as possible.

 

YouTube might give you trouble, depending on resolution being watched, but I cannot say for certain.
