Radeon 9600 DVI question...

[ajf3]

Hi all,

Thinking about buying a Radeon 9600 off a guy on the forums, but I need to answer this question first... I've seached around, but can't find a definitive answer - hoping someone here can help.

Can the regular 128MB 9600 (not SE, not XT, not PRO) output DVI-D at 1920x1200? I see that it can do it via VGA at 75Hz, but my current card (a matrox g550) can do that too via VGA. I have to replace it because I need one to do it via DVI-D.

Thanks!

It should. If you're really not sure you could search ATI's site for the specs.

Checked this link and found the list below, however it doesn't list it by VGA and also DVI. I always thought they were the same too until I found out my current card CAN do 1920x1200 VGA, but only 1280x1024 DVI.

Since Hz are listed, I tend to think that the specs below are for VGA output.

I was hoping someone here knew for sure since the 9600 is a pretty popular card.
