PCI-E x1 graphics card

bmm

Need a cheap PCI-E x1 graphics card .

x1 is important and the budget is 20euro. A dual screen cable wud be a bonus.

its for a Poweredge T105 which has only x8 and x1 slots and the x8 slots are disabled for graphics purposes by Dell ( it seems ) , so i'm left with an x1 slot.

Pci-e 1x cards are rare, and extremely expensive.

There's not the remotest chance you'll get a modern 1x card for that budget, and in fact it's unlikely that you'll get any decent 1x card for that budget; you'd not even get a regular pci-e card for that price.

Why do you need one?

You'd probably get a PCI card easier than a pci-e 1x one, and although they're crippled bandwidth wise, they might suit you fine depending on what it is you're looking to do.

something like this but cheaper.

the reason i need it is i want to run two screens .

Some Matrox PCI cards had multiple DVI out's. Might find them easier. Dunno what the support is like though.

If you're adventurous, you could slit the end of the 1x slot, and just pop in a budget 16x card.

Electrically, 1x slots are the same as 16x slots. I've seen this done a bunch of times in the past.

^That. Much easier than trying to find an antique piece of hardware.
