LCD resolutions confusion Setting up a new system. Need dual LCD's. Now have 2 191t's- Samsung. Want an AGP and a PCI video cards. Looking at ATI 9600 line and ATI 7500 PCI line. Here is my confusion. LCD is listed native resoltuion in digital at 1280X1024 - 85Hz. BUT say the 9600 line says 1280X1024 - 120Hz. 1600X1200 85Hz 7500 PCI 1280X1024-160Hz 1600X1200-85Hz So am I too assume that neither of these cards would work because resolution not supported? Confused. Many using 191t's. tia. mktman
You are quoting the "maximum refresh rate" for the card at a given resolution. Your card won't indicate a possible refresh rate which is higher than it can handle, so that part is not a worry. However, you don't want to exceed the monitor's capability, either. Any refresh rate at/lower than the maximum the monitor can handle is OK. Safe way.... select Display/Settings/Advanced/Monitor and check the box, "Hide modes this monitor cannot display". Then, choose from one of the alternatives left.
