9200SE with 2005FPW

[Dawgie]

Has anyone tried to see if 9200SE can run this monitor at native resolution? mine is coming in next week so i wanna make sure it'll run fine when i get it.

It'll be fine for 2D, not so fine for 3D at native resolution

I don't know, I'm not really that familiar with Warcraft 3...don't know what kind of requirements it has. You'll be just fine for movie watching though, and it's a great monitor for that (I have one myself)

no. the 9200se is a slower vrsion of the 9200 which is slow as heck anyway. at 19x12 or whatever, it'll(warcraft 3) run like crap.

I don't think much will run with a 9200SE. For a monitor like that, I'd get a x800pro at least (I mean, you were wiling to spend $$$ on a monitor).

Sure, in windowed mode.

Games look weird in windowed for the first while, but as long as your desktop background isn't something overly distracting, you could get used to it.

... and of course, remember that even DVI displays can be run at lower resolutions. E.g. 800x600 doesn't look exactly bad on a 1200 line display - as long as you set the monitor to "aspect ratio scale" it'll even keep it 4:3 (with black borders left and right).

I've run my 2405FPW at 1920x1200 on a 9200AGP, a 9100PCI, and a 7500PCI.
