es2l computer. Which graphic card do you
suggest? Thank you.

I suggest none. To be sure, adding a graphics card to your Gigabyte GA-G41M-ES2L will make it less free because of the onboard nonfree software on the graphics card. This is not present if you use the onboard VGA port of your motherboard.

Also, with the current stable release of libreboot (20160907) the PCI Express slots don't even work in the first place. To have working slots you'll need one of the experimental testing releases of libreboot.

Your options are going to be limited to Nvidia cards in the GTx7xx series or older. How many monitors to you plan on using ? I ask because I have used the GT 730; GTX 760; and GTX 780 and the GT730 was woefully underpowered for 2 monitors using Nouveau drivers.

According to jxself libreboot does not support pci. Then
there is no reason to get a graphics card. I do not want to install
experimental libreboot if that option does not work
as well.

"According to jxself libreboot does not support pci."

To be clear that's a reference to the the current stable version of 20160907 and only on the Gigabyte GA-G41M-ES2L.
