Will a 2001FP work with a GF3 Ti 500?

[Caveman]

Looking to upgrade my monitor for general use and gaming. Right now until November, I have a GF3 Ti 500 video card.

Q) Can my card put out "a" signal that the LCD can display? Will the display look like crap? I can "limp by" for several months until I get a new rig, but I'd like the display to at least be "good"...

Comments?

Doesn't your GF3 have DVI output? In that case it will look awesome. Otherwise I dunno. I have not had good experiences w/ nVidia cards in 2D.

Here's what it has: On the I/O front, we have a standard HD-15 monitor connector, along with an S-Video TV out, not to mention a 29-pin DVI-I connector. A Conexant BT868 chip powers the TV-out functionality, while a small Silicon Image chip on the back of the board powers DVI.

Is the 29-pin DVI-I compatible with the Dell monitor? So... it sould look "great"? Does the TV chip mean that it has a tuner? Sorry, but I'm clueless on this "extravideoer" technology...

As the Titanium series of cards are Visiontek's second line of retail products, they've finally adopted a naming scheme. XTasy. Yes, XTasy. The GeForce3 Ti500 card is labeled as the XTasy 6964, and is packaged in a snappy colorful retail box, which is sure to catch the eye of a retail shopper.

The actual card differs only slightly from the original nVidia reference design (which was designed by Visiontek, so most likely it's the other way around), but still manages to be a fully packed card. Visiontek clocks the Ti500 core at the standard 240 MHz, and the DDR SDRAM at 500 MHz. The DDR is in a 8 x 8MB configuration, adding up to 64MB total.

On the I/O front, we have a standard HD-15 monitor connector, along with an S-Video TV out, not to mention a 29-pin DVI-I connector. A Conexant BT868 chip powers the TV-out functionality, while a small Silicon Image chip on the back of the board powers DVI.

If nothing else it'll work with the analog out that you've been using, and you can certainlly get by with that until November.

I have a Geforce 2 that for whatever reason only works with DVI up to 1024x768. So it's probably not guaranteed that your Geforce 3 will work through DVI, but worst case senario it'll still be useable.

My Geforce 3 TI 200 worked fine with an LCD monitor @1280x1024, so I would imagine your ti-500 will too.

Native resolution is 1600 x 1200 though I've heard it scales well...

If the back of the card looks like this picture
If not then you may need an adapter.

So... it sould look "great"?

It should look pretty nice at the native resolution. I have set up a few of these for my work and 1600x1200 is perfect for this size screen (IMO).

Does the TV chip mean that it has a tuner?

no, it means you can output to a TV using s-video cable.
