I'm upgrading from my crappy old 17" CRT monitor, but I have an old AGP Geforce 6600 (non-GT). Will it be able to do the 1440x900 or 1680x1050 resolutions that 19" and 20" LCD's use?
depends on the games and settings. for alot of stuff, i would suggest no but for alot of games using medium settings and no AA should get you good results.
i amy be wrong though but the 6600 sin't that new and those res's, espcially the 16 x 10 can take alot of power.
Well, I was just wondering if it was even possible for Windows, not really gaming. I wouldn't want to spend $200 or more on a new monitor and not be able to use it at all.
I have found from experience that VGA cards deteriorate quickly - after about 2 or 3 years. Old VGA cards (and laptop VGAs - even new ones) don't give good text with my EIZO S2100 LCD 21" display. That's even though they put out the exact 1600x1200 that my display needs.
