The Iyonix uses specific models of Nvidia PCI (not PCIe) card - the GeForce
2 MX and FX5500 are mentioned here as working, and I think some other
GeForce FX-series may too:

I don't believe there are any of that era (~2005) which have HDMI ports, but
some have DVI and DVI to HDMI is just a passive cable.  (ie HDMI monitors
support DVI signals on the HDMI port as a backwards compatibility mode)

What you won't get is audio, which is supported on HDMI but not DVI.
