adapters like zoob mentioned are an option if your monitors don't support displayport. AFAIK though the DP->dual-link DVI ones are still expensive (somewhere close to 100USD). As for cards natively supporting two dual-link dvi ports, AMD dropped support for that after Evergreen. So HD5xxx cards (and HD67x0 which are renamed HD57x0) which have two dvi ports should work fine, the other HD6xxx cards and the newer HD7xxx cards not. nvidia is slower adapting new display standards it seems, they don't offer much in ways of displayport usually however still support multiple dual-link dvi outputs. So if you want something much faster than a HD4850 (a HD6770 would also be faster but not much of an upgrade, a cheap second hand HD5870 might also fit your needs which is I believe the fastest card AMD made supporting two dual-link ports without adapter) a GTX670 should work fine. Or the older GTX 5xx series (though I typically don't recommend them mostly due to perf/power) should support this as well, there should be plenty cards (gtx560ti for instance) with two dual-link dvi ports. I guess if you only need one monitor for gaming you could also just use two video cards...
