22" and an FX5200

[bonhimself]

soooo i just ordered a 22 monitor off newegg and was jw if my fx5200 can even support the native res of 1680x1050. so yeah any input would be good.

 

[TheRyuu]

Yea, I think it should be able to.

 

[Dainas]

A FX5200 should have no problems smoothly running up to 1920x1440 under windows XP, running Vista(or OS X) it might be limited to 1280x1024(to avoid any choppiness) if you have all the accelerated eye candy on.

You won't be able to run anything but the oldest 3D games using an FX5200, but yes it will support that resolution.

LMAO are u first 2 posters shitting me. bro that card wont' run that res u need a videocard upgrade, I don't what those other guys are smoking, but I want some 😛

For games!! for 2d desktop stuff its fine.

Many generations of nVidia cards, that one included, have issues running hi-res over DVI. I'd get a nicer card.

(Like an ATI)

 

[unfalliblekrutch]

you'll be fine running at the native resolution for basic usage, but definately not gaming.

I almost got mad at the fanboyish comment, until I realized you were Canadian.

Nobody's perfect.

...anyways, even my savage pro ddr in my p3 500mhz computer supports 1600x1200 on my 17" crt, so an fx5200 should be able to handle 1680x1050 just fine. besides, that card was packed in with a lot of pre-built comps with big monitors, so i wouldnt worry about it.

my geforce3 handles high resolutions fine.

of course, im not talking about gaming with these cards at 1680x1050. definitely drop the resolution down.

Point is, I'm at least not aware of any generations of Radeon having hi-res DVI signal issues, except maybe the oldest ones.

Was just talking bout displaying under 2D, FX5200 and gaming should be regarded as mutually exclusive under any resolution.

Would it run Vista Aero without choppyness? It does require DX9 acceleration, I'm not sure how much though...
