Hi there,
I am considering buying a new graphics card and a new monitor. The monitor I have chosen has a resolution of 1440 X 900 (Acer AL1916W 19"). Could you please tell me if the XFX GEFORCE 6800GS XXX PV-T42G-UAD7 256MB DDR3 TV + DVI Extreme Gamer Ultra PCI-E would support this monitor.

Thanks!
 
Yes this card will be fine with this monitor some of the latest games like fear and cod2 may require you to turn the setting down a bit but apart from that it should be a sweet combo
 
Thanks will the XFX GeForce 6800 GS Extreme XXX Edition 256MB GDDR3 TV-Out/DVI deffinatly support the resolution of 1440x900 because its a very unusual resolution
 
funny i got both them and my gs is ok but i have to put call of duty 2 on dx7 and pro evo 5 is going a little jumpy but not sure if its the monitor as i used to play it at 1280x1024 with my gs on 4:3 tft surley changing to 1152x864 widescreen mode doesnt hit your gfx card that much

only got this monitor for my impending 360 you finding you acer a bit bright on the back panel colours look a bit wishy washy

oh well.... :p

pro evo5 should play smooth as silk. that'll be a walk in a the park for the 6800gs. :)

you will have to play cod2 in dx7 mode as mentioned above. no way it'll handle dx9 mode at that resolution... :(

edit: i forgot about the powercolor x850xt. i'd rather have that than the 6800gs. and it's cheaper at 150 notes... of course the nvidia goons will harp on about the lack of sm3 but that is not something that would bother me.... :D

marc thats what i thought cant understand it

get glitches as if the screen cant keep up and shifts the position only prob with this monitor is when you get a diff res it auto sizes to fill screen i think this could be a prob might not be great at scanning

you have vsync enabled in the nvidia driver options? pes5 needs that to be set. :)
 
Ive got that card, and its an absolute blinder, im not overclocking (i tried, but didnt seem to make much difference to scores) and get a tad under 25,000 3dmarks 2001 with my p4 @ 3.75ghz. Im absolutely delighted with it, and have been for a few weeks. I was planning on upgrading to the X1900 when it comes out, but this has ran everything ive thrown at it, and at the clock speeds, it packs one heck of a punch.
 
yep vsync is set to on it was fine with my other 4:3 monitor marc but since getting this acer ive had the prob

i think cuz pro evo dont support w/s and the monitor stretches it its doing some weird stuff

can you not play at something like 1152x864 1:1 with borders around it. or does it stretch everything?

i was contemplating one of these for myself but if it can't do that i might just play it safe and get a sammy 913n instead. :)

So does the GS support 1440x900?

the card itself supports that resolution no problem and windows/desktop apps will be fine.

it's just a few games that may not able to be forced to run at 1440x900. as mentioned this appears to be causing problems in pro evo5..... of course i can't comment any futher as i don't have the monitor.....
