I am looking to get a solid, reliable graphics card that can run 2 screens. Not looking for anything too crazy and too expensive. Just something that can run 2 screens and acceptable for creating rendering.
Is there something out there for let's say $100 ?
Thanks for any input.

Head over to Newegg.com. Pick up a gaming card -- you can probably find a decent graphics card for ~100.
Ratings tend to be pretty reliable on that site, i tend to prefer NVidia over ATI chips.
Also -- the graphics card is hardly used for the rendering process. Rendering is the processor's job. The most graphics-intense moments of revit are orbitting a 3d model with effects like ambient occlusion, transparencies, and shadows enabled.

i would stick with the Quadro series. based on your budget any of the entry level cards should be viable choices. i would double check the Autodesk site and see what they have listed.

another (probably dumb) question; let's say the card has 3 outputs DVI, VGA and/or HDMI. Does that automatically mean I can run 2 (or even 3) monitors on it ?
thanks again

it doesn't automatically mean that, but most cards today allow at least 2 monitors. basically those are cable types used to connect the monitor to the computer. HDMI allows for a digital display as opposed to a analog display. i think most people are running in digital mode these days.
