aghoffmann Posted January 6, 2007 Report Share Posted January 6, 2007 I have a Sapphire Radeon 9600SE Edition 128MB graphics card running dual monitors. The two monitors are an old 17" Sony Trinitron and a Nokis 447L. The Sony monitor is dying (yellow color and cuts out frequently). I'd like to replace the Sony with a 20" flatscreen LCD monitor. All the flat screens I've looked at use a resolution of 1680x1050 (which I think it the HxW ratio of HDTV). The Sapphire card doesn't support the 1680x1050 resolution. Is there a driver update that would help, or am I destined to get a new graphics card too? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
swordofdestiny Posted January 6, 2007 Report Share Posted January 6, 2007 It'd probably be a good idea to upgrade as, there are 1 GB cards out there now. I don't use ATI, I didn't like their GUI or the installation of their drivers. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Might just want a 20"screen without the HDTV capabilities. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
