Dual DVI ATI X1650 PRO 512MB PCIe

[Kalis43]

I am looking at this card (ATI oem version) for a business machine. I want to run 2 22" Acer Wide screens (ACER 22" AL2216WBD 1680X1050 700:1 DVI-D 5MS) with this card at the monitors' native resolution of 1680x1050. Unfortunately I can't find a list of supported resolutions anywhere. Maybe I'm looking in the wrong place. I have been to ATI's site and several of the hardware sites (Anandtech is the only one I really trust) but no luck. My biggest concern is that this is a slightly outdated card and may not support the newer widescreen resolutions, especially on 2 large LCD's at once.

Does anyone know where to find this information?

TIA!

Shouldn't have any problem, I've run larger resolutions on older cards. You may need to uncheck the box labeled "Hide modes this monitor cannot display" in Display Properties->Advanced.

Ok, my card just arrived, I know the picture showed 2 dvi outputs but the card has a dvi and a vga output (also an s-video which is not digital I don't beleive).

Just what is dual link dvi? I guess thats what I get for assuming that dual dvi meant dual dvi outputs.

here is the picture i looked at:

This picture shows 2 dvi connectors. I purchsed the card from Mwave for $171 which I think is still too much for this card but I need support for 2 monitors.

Can anyone explain what I've done without being too mean 😱

Interfaces 1 x DVI-I (dual link) - 29 pin combined DVI
1 x HDTV output

it does say 1 dvi and 1 s-video (hdtv out). yes, the picture is misleading. call them up and ask about it.

Dual-link DVI is a single DVI port with more bandwidth to display resolutions above 1920x1200.
