1680x1050 on Nvidia

[titanmiller]

I was looking around newegg and a 20.1" widescreen LCD caught my attention, it says to make sure that your video card supports 1680x1050. I would assume that since this is a popular widescreen resolution that it would be supported but I just want to make sure.


6800GT AGP

Over DVI by the way

That'll work fine, I'm running a 2005FPW on an AGP 6800GT over DVI right now. 😉

Ok, thanks.
On the same subject I would like to run this 20.1" LCD at 1680x1050 along with my 32" HDTV at 1280x720 (or 1366x768 if I can get that res to work). Both would be DVI, will my card be able to support both at once?
My card is not Dual DVI, but I would be using the VGA to DVI adapter for the second display.

A VGA to DVI adapter is pointless so don't bother buying one (since you're starting out with a poorer quality signal, it can't make it better going through digital). Just use VGA.

And yes, it will be able to support both at the same time fine (or rather it should I think).

Yes, I might just use vga for my 32" because through DVI I cannot get the native resolution of 1366x768, I have been told that I will be able to do that through VGA.

Hmm, yeah, I wouldn't know about that. I do know that VGA to DVI adapters are pointless because its converting a digital signal to analog and then back to digital, and so there's more conversion (and once it goes to analog, it loses some quality that can't be regained). DVI to VGA adapters are ok because there's only one signal change.

Not to say that you'll have poor quality through VGA though, as many monitors do quite well with it.

BTW, that'll be a nice setup.
