Dell 3007fpw and AGP XT1600 Pro

Hi, whilst searching the archives, I saw that the choice of AGP cards that support the high resolution of the Dell 300fpw were rather limited. I think one guy was going to buy a Sapphire XT 1600 Pro AGP because I think this supported the dual dvi link. Did this work at full resolution? I would just like to know the options that people have got working for this monitor the an AGP interface.

Many thanks......JB

Hi, I have seen discussions that the Sapphire XT1600 Pro will support the dual link spec. It comes in 2 flavours the 256 and 512Mb that both seem to support the 2560x1600 (dual-link DVI) output.

The other solution I found seems to be the ATI 9600 PC/MAC- this passively cooled card was designed for the 30" Mac screen in mind. It comes with 2 dvi outputs....

Yes, thanks for pointing it out, but I do know the difference- thats why nearly all the Nvidia solutions had to be ruled out.

Gone for the X1600 Pro. Many thanks to everyone who posted. I guess this is my "last" upgrade for the AGP platform.....

Cheers,
