Best sub £30 pcie graphics card

Can anyone recommend the best sub £30 pcie graphics card.
Ultimately my requirements are:
For a full case computer - ie no need for low profile
Reliable - don't want to be replacing for a few years
Ideally 2 dvi outputs - could live with hdmi and dvi - but need dual screen
I don't game - I don't do any serious 3d editing - I do run windows 10. Just aware that my current graphics card is 7 years old - so my logic is that a budget new one will do better than my still working 7 year old graphics card.

What video card have you got currently?
I am going to sell my ATI HD5670 GDDR5 1GB on ebay in next couple of weeks.
PM me if you interest.
The best new video card for £30 at the moment is GT710 or R5 230, I doubt if that any better than your existing...
if you happy to buy second hand. GT 740. They usually come with VGA, DVI, HDMI

I've the fan-less version of the gt710. It's a good cheap card if you don't play the latest games.Laters

Got a 4350 and a 5450 at work you can have for price of postage. Pretty sure they all have hdmi, dvi and vga. Chucked a 5770 other day otherwise you could have had that.0

Another vote for the above only a 2gb Memory one from Amazon, costs £10 extra, passive no fan, so far runs great on desktop.0 -
Also the gt710 will work in a pcie x4 slot if your get an adapter like this :

That's what I'm using and I've not seen any performance issues with briefing and video playback. Not really using it for games.Laters
