Today only. Newegg has the GIGABYTE GV-N610SL-1GI GeForce GT 610 1GB 64-bit DDR3 PCI Express 2.0 x16 HDCP Ready Low Profile Video Card for $40 - $20 rebate [Exp 11/5] = $20 with free shipping. Features a 810MHz core clock, and HDMI, DVI and D-SUB outputs.
$20
This GT 610 is a rename of the GT 520, meaning it had been the GF108 or today probably GF119 Fermi GPU, based with a unassuming and insignificant 48 CUDA cores. The GT 610 is but barely entry level, questionable in even outdoing Ivy Bridge chips integrated graphics.

Isn't a bad buy except they're just a little less efficient, necessitating that dual slot H-S extrusion. I'd also suggest contemplating this Sapphire 6450 1Gb; it's $25 after only a $10 rebate w/FS. It uses the traditional single slot passive cooler.

While testing gaming is useless to either this does impart the improved performance/Watts.
