What is the cheapeast nvidia GPU? When I say "cheap" I mean like $5-$10..I want the cheapeast and smallest gpu out there, I don't care how bad the performance is, i just generally want a cruddy graphics card that is small and cheap..Could anyone help me find one? I will be building a render farm, and i want dozens of the smallest and cheapeast gpu's available so i can make two shelves full of them. I don't want any onboard graphics, just gpus that would fit on a rack and are cost effective. It needs to be NVIDIA, otherwise the farm is no use to me.

You'll only find one that cheap on craigslist or ebay. Amazon/Newegg doesn't want stuff that old in their inventory anymore.
 
That's a way too vague question. I'll i can say is any free card. But it would be worth every penny
Small would be IGPU or usb

Now your making exceptions. Why not just be specific to what you really want and what its for?

I seriously question whether that's really more cost effective than just buying few much more powerful cards. Those 10$ cards you want to buy , you are scraping the bottom of the barrel so much that they're going to be utterly useless for anything else other than being basic display adapters.

You can get Nvidia geforce 210 for like $6 on e bay. But like ^ mentioned I dont know how cost effective it will be
 
10 geforce 210's=$60, or one titan for $800

well if i were to go with a geforce 210, i would get probably 10 of them, plus i would use my current gpu (GTX 1050)
 
9800GT, $20-30.
 
didn`t nvidia make a series only to drive monitors like financial medical stuff so basic that it wont even run games NV 200 series i believe.Those are truly awful.

Edit the Quadro NVS series

2nd edit:Asuming you are using Intel CPU s ... why bother... they have a gpu included
