what are some low power PCIe video cards that support dual link DVI?
for the user who wants a 30" dell at native resolution WQXGA, but doesn't play any 3D games and wants least possible power consumption

Pretty much any modern card will do. X1300, X1550, HD2400, 8500GT.

Here's a list from Newegg.

HD 34x0 series might be suitable. I am not sure but there should be now some reviews of them.
