For gaming ? nope

whats the model number? If its the 3007WFP, then I dont think it supports AGP cards at all according to the OCUK site.

- Before purchasing this product make sure you have a compatible graphics card that supports Dual Link DVI / DVI-D such cards are the ATI X1300/X1600/X1800/X1900 series and NVIDIA 7800 series graphics cards.
- This product is not compatible with AGP cards

*nvm*

Any card with dual-link DVI will do. If he can afford the 3007WFP he should also be able to afford getting off AGP. The 7800GS+ will do, but my performance increased about 25% moving from a £270 Gainward 7800GS+ (AGP) to the similar £200 Galaxy 7950GT on PCI-e.

So he only has agp and yet he has whats rumored to be the fastest, biggest, hottest gpu for pci-e that require a new standard for power?
Not to mention hasnt been released to anyone bar game developers.

I think not

He needs a card that supports Dual Link DVi or he won't get the most out of the monitor.

cokecan · 17 Nov 2006 at 12:25

what about the X1900pro thats out on agp???

BigRon · 17 Nov 2006 at 12:49

Lay z boy-Very helpfull-feel free not to give me advise in future.

Jpmonkey69-Many thanks for you info, i did read that on the O/C site.

Gashman · 17 Nov 2006 at 13:32

You do get a picture, but it's in a very low resolution.

We had a 30" Dell screen to view our network on, this is how I know.

There are quite a few around after a quick look on google. How much does he want to spend? The Leadtek 7600 GT on OcUk has dual link http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=GX-088-LT

Something a bit cheaper the Sapphire X1300 also has a dual link: http://www.sapphiretech.com/uk/products/products_overview.php?gpid=124&grp=2 Not 100% sure that the one on OcUk has from the description, you'd need them to confirm it.

You get a 1280x1040 res on the 3700 I think if the card doesn't support it...
