Something like a used Gtx 1650 should be enough for this. With one HDMI 2.0 and One DP 1.4a this gpu can fit your use case well. But for Hackintosh Radeon is the only way (Rx 580).
Apart from that can you access the service menu to check the panel on that Acer monitor?
The button combination is readily available on search, just open it and take a pic and exit.

Yes. RX580 is on my mind but it is sightly over my budget though.
Tried to access the service menu couple of times. but it is tricky.
dartraiden.github.io is this the one ?

How to get into the service menu Acer Nitro VG271P
turn off the monitor (by pressing button 1) press and hold buttons 2 and 3 press and hold button 1 (do not release buttons 2,3) press button 4 once (do not release buttons 1,2,3) wait until the screen turns on then release button 1 after the service menu appears on the screen, release all...

FS: Video Card - Gigabyte RX 570 4g
Hi, I want to sell my gigabyte rx570. Warranty has expired in May of this year. There is box and bill available. I got it mainly to play counter strike but very sparingly used to play. Quite good condition as you can tell by the pictures. Shipping extra and 3 days testing period. Thanks.
techenclave.com Can try here if it isn't sold yet!!

What is your system configuration? Most iGPUs support dual monitors AFAIK, have been for sometime now. Unless your PC is almost a decade old, you should get 1440p 120Hz on your monitor with the right cable (HDMI 2.0). Honestly, beyond 120Hz you don't see the difference or improvement easily.
I use my Asus 1440p 170Hz monitor at 120Hz with my office laptop along with my 1080p 165Hz monitor. 120Hz is more than enough for me for office work & my office laptop lacks a dGPU, so both monitors are running off the iGPU.

Sorry I was not clear nor did I read everything. Just check your mobo, you likely have 2 types of display output ports, maybe HDMI & VGA.
Based on the above info, HDMI will allow 1440p 60Hz. So yes, an ext GPU will be needed, any used cheap one with HDMI 2.0 will suffice for 1440p 120Hz.

Mine got delivered yesterday. First impression very strong stand and ergonomics. No dead/stuck pixel. Coming to cons looks like too much bleed.
I've ThinkPad with 2k monitor and colors looks like more warm than ThinkPad monitor however black is somewhat washed. Any suggestions based on my captured photo...

I see more of the IPS glow than bleed. As for the colors, just need to adjust the white point a bit. Take a white sheet in hand and in natural lighting (windows open or in neutral light (6500k)) adjust the RGB values to match the sheet and if possible a bit warm tone is good for the eyes. If you received a calibration report then the standard profile/mode should clamp to sRGB with neutral white.

Thanks, so glow is strong. It's nothing to be worried about right?
I can adjust with warm color or tone. Only thing remains is blacks are bright and grey, there is a constant glare on the screen.
So do you think replacement worth the effort.
@cisco_tech Mine panel is same as yours however RGB values are somewhat different. How's black in your monitor.

Play with brightness and constrast to get it to an comfortable viewing level. Reduce the black boost (default is 5). See if the gamma is set to 2.2, also check if 2.4 is better.
The different values of rgb is attributed to the particular panel calibration and it's different for every unit. I believe this machine is used to set the values XD.
As for the glow see if it appears to shift when you see from right and left side (at an angle). If it changes then its definitely glow.
Given replacement option is only through Acer, it'll take effort from your end to make them replace it.
(I won't recommend this method if you don't know what you're doing.
I bought LG monitor to be used vertically couple of months back and I noticed some bleed. I took the softest cloth available (those 800gsm ones), and very gently wiped it to an edge which would be in downward position. Some bleed in that position is good for me XD. Using it ever since...)

Didn't BTC/ETC change their algorithm to make it not much profitable for gpu to mine them?

That's not bleed. It's IPS glow.

Indeed, black has a hint of grey. It's much better now that I dropped the black level to 2, also set the gamma to 2.4. As @Alucard1729 mentioned I fiddled with the settings for half an hour until I was satisfied and saved them to my profile.
Back to the main topic. I am running both the monitors now via IGPU(Intel HD Graphics 530). Acer with HDMI and HP with VGA. however HDMI output is imited to 1080p only. Changed the cable as well but no luck.

You'll have to hunt for used Polaris and above generation GPU...

It doesn't matter, it can run other algos and are still quite efficient on those new algos.

Just as extra precaution, save those settings screenshot/values in pic/text form too because have seen those saved profiles getting lost some times.
I believe the last gpu price rise was mainly due to BTC/ETH, the two major & most popular crypto & those are not going to be profitable enough by mining via gpu now.
