Recommendations for Hackintosh video card?
#1
Background: I don't play computer games or do any serious graphics/video editing.

Criteria:
Gives me all the bells and whistles from Mavericks and/or Yosemite
Can drive two monitors simultaneously (via DVI or HDMI)
Relatively low power draw/low heat
Relatively low cost (preferably $50 to $100, or less if possible)
I'm willing to buy used/refurbished.

I'm currently running an Nvidia GeForce 9500GT, and am thinking about an Nvidia 640 GT, like this one:

I welcome your comments/suggestions, and of course, our new Intel overlords......

With the new iMac rockin' an AMD GPU, I would be tempted to say an R7-250 or 250x in low profile. The new Nvidia low budget champ according to TomsHardware is the GeForce GT 730 64-bit GDDR5, but it might be new enough not to be supported in a Hackintosh.

Might be OK. I haven't checked on video cards in a long time (I have a 5770) - but the June buyers guide had a similar GT640.
