Recently, I experimented again with various setups. After reading more suggestions from this site and other sites I purchased old Nvidia GPUs from ebay. I am using the latest version of Windows 10 Home, a new VA monitor Dell SE2722H connected through VGA cable. I didn't try it on Ubuntu. These graphics cards work great, meaning I can comfortably work at the computer for hours without "bleeding from my eyes":
- Nvidia Quadro 600.
- Nvidia Quadro 4000
- Nvidia Quadro K420,
- Nvidia Quadro K4000
Both non-K-version GPUs use Fermi architecture which is the oldest of the Quadro series. And the K-version use the Keppler architecture. People say that they are safe for the eyes.
It turns out, at least for me, that this is the case. However, only when using the oldest driver from 2015.
For comparison, these GPUs with the same setup, are not tolerable:
- Pny Nvidia T600
- Asus Nvidia GT 1030
- Asus Nvidia GT 730 (Keppler 2.0 acrhitecture),
- Asus AMD Radeon Rx 550
- Intel UHD 630
Go figure…
