540858 2007-04-13 10:36:00 Are there any cheap video cards that support a resolution of 1440x900? All the cheap ones I've looked at so far (Nvidia 5200/6200, ATI 9250) seem to support everything but what I want. Greven (91)
540859 2007-04-13 10:40:00 Put it this way
My parent's NVIDIA G-force 2 mx is happily driving a 19" widescreen monitor running at 1440 x 900....
Therefore, one would think that the cards you mentioned can.

540860 2007-04-13 10:45:00 These do (ATI 9550 256mb cards), with the latest ATI drivers.

I think these were round 95-100.

540861 2007-04-13 10:55:00 I think it also depends on the drivers. Most if not all things above Radeon 7500 and GeFroce TNT should be able to do 1440x900... qazwsxokmijn (102)
540862 2007-04-13 10:56:00 The cards I looked at had a list of supported resolutions & 1440x900 isn't on there. Is it just a driver issue, or do the cards have to be tweaked to display a 16:10 resolution? Greven (91)
540863 2007-04-13 11:05:00 Eh no, not that I know of, if the drivers support 1440x900 + it'll be the size of the monitor. I didnt have to tweak the drivers after I installed. And both monitors here are at 1440x900, with the latest ATI drivers.

I just changed the resolution to 1440x900. That was it. Didnt have to do anything else.

thanks. My parents just got an AOC 193FW monitor & their onboard graphics can't do the native res even with the latest drivers. I guess the websites for the video cards must be outdated, which isn't surprising considering how old the cards I'm looking at are.

540865 2007-04-13 19:37:00 I should have mentioned 16:10 is widescreen (the screen itself). Its not a resolution.

Which is what the 193FW is.

So u cant tweak anything to get 16:10, as you're already lookng at it (the screen itself is 16:10 - widescreen).

540866 2007-04-13 23:51:00 My 7600GT does the job just fine. beeswax34 (63)
