Cheapest GPU for dual 4K monitors

Hey CF

I'm looking for the cheapest solution to power two 4K monitors.
It doesn't really matter if they run at 30 or 60Hz, since it's purely for work. No gaming will ever be done on these machines.

The base system looks like this:
  • Intel i7-4790K with CM 212 Evo
  • ASUS Gryphon Z97
  • Kingston Beast 2400MHz 2x8GB
  • Corsair RM550
  • Coolermaster Silencio 352
  • Samsung 840 Evo 250GB

I assume I need two displayports on the GPU?
I looked in to a DP hub, but it seems like max resolution is 5760x1080 - which is not enough for 2x 3840x2160.

Silence is a big factor, so if there's a passively cooled 5450 with dual DPs out there I can't find, please let me know :)

[Edit] I see now that HDMI can run 4K at 30Hz too.
Maybe this Gigabyte GTX 750 Ti is capable? Dual HDMI
[Edit2] Motherboard has HDMI and DP.
This is info from onboard GPU (HD 4600)

But it doesn't state whether it can run 4K on DP and HDMI simultaneously, and the forward slash in between worries me :)

id think the 750ti would be fine to use, aslong as its not for demanding gaming, rendering etc. a 750ti will be fine with everything else such as running videos,films etc and general desktop usage.
 
what kind of work? The only reason i have seen anyone need 4k is for video editing. If video editing, a gaming class card wont cut it.

Since you mention "work", you would prob be better off with a workstation card. Cad would do much better with a workstation card to. We really need to know what your doing to make a good recommendation. The quadro serries are kinda pricy, but will likley do much better then a gaming card for ya. But we need to know what u do to make a recomendation.
