Which graphics card can you recommend for the AMP Box Mini? I only need the box to use a second screen, as my Lenovo C940 is simply overwhelmed with the Intel GPU. That's why I don't want an expensive GPU.
Thanks a lot for your help.

Answer

I myself run 2 4K screens on a Lenovo (not C940 but a T950). 
Displaying the screen certainly doesn't overload the GPU, if it does, you have more of a driver problem. 
The question is rather what do you want to display on the screen? As soon as this becomes computationally intensive, you would have to determine the GPU based on this requirement. Of course, depending on the external screen resolution. 

A small graphics card with a bit of performance for 3D etc. would be [KFA2 GeForce GT 1030 (2GB)](https://www.digitec.ch/de/s1/product/kfa2-geforce-gt-1030-2gb-grafikkarte-12261404).

Answer

If it's just about the connections, the cheapest with the required number of ports. Anything under 200mm in length will fit, and the power consumption is certainly sufficient.

Otherwise, I would have expected the Intel GPU to drive 2 screens with ease. My 4-year-old Lenovo Carbon X1 has no problems with it, and its igpu is not particularly powerful.
