resolutions for 6600GT cards

[imported_nathan]

I've been looking at buying the gigabyte 6600 GT card GV-NX66T128VP.

However, I downloaded the manual and is says that the max 32-bit color resolution is only 848x480! This seems ridiculous to me considering that the card has 128MB of memory and my current 8MB video card can go up to 1280x1024 at 32bit. Does anyone have this card? Can you confirm or deny?

I'm considering the eVGA 6600 GT (128-P2-N368-TX) instead because of this issue. Anyone know if the eVGA card can make it up to 1280x1024 at 32bit? I would think it could, but now I'm worried.

Any 6600GT should be able to handle that easily...

That has to be some kind of error in the manual, all current Nvidia GPUs support at least 1920x1440. Almost all of them are 2048x1536 and higher.

Even with 32-bit color? The manual on the gigabyte model says it can reach those higher res modes, but only at 16-bit color. I agree it sounds like a mistake, but I just want to hear from someone for sure before I spend a bundle of $. Also, what about the eVGA version. Is it the same?

I have a gigbyte 6600gt, I can go up to 19x14 easy.
