I mentioned earlier on, but probably should have been more clear, that
I'm not really interested in it for gaming. This is my everyday
desktop that I use for a Windows VM and office work. Hmm... are these
games on Linux that people are playing, anyway?

How about this card? It says it's on sale, but is it really?

This has three DisplayPort connectors - my current monitors do support
displayport, although I'll need new cables.

Looks like about $140 USD on amazon here - but only 2GB RAM? Won't
that affect the maximum resolution?
