Hi all. I'm planning to purchase a mid-range card most probably a 7600GT 256MB GDDR3. I asked a similar question in the 7series thread whether a 7600GT could run current games on native resolution of a 20" WS LCD (1680x1050).

The feedback was obviously negative. Since a 7600GT does not pumps enough juices to run latest games on at least high settings on 1680x1050, many suggested that it's better off getting 7900GS instead.

I'm firmed in getting a 7600GT instead due that i felt it's unworthy to spend more than RM600 on a gfx card (I bought a Galaxy 6600GT @ RM880 and less than 1 year the price of the card is RM250 ). Due to principal i decided not to spend more than RM600 for any gfx card from now on.

Now my question

What is the recommended resolution should i have in my games running on at least high settings considering i'm getting a 7600GT? Does games looks good with 1280x1024 on a 20" WS LCD with at least4xAA and AF? Will it become ugly and pixelated?

Thanks

No it wont. I tried NFS Carbon (since the WS hack for some reason is not working for me) on 1280*1024 for both the 20 and the 24 inch WS Dell and I dont see any ugliness or pixelation. Dell is pretty good when it comes to scalling (though for PlayStation 2 via component/s-video input the scalling tends to be slightly more to the bad side)

Was it due that you are using 7900GT? .. I'm currently in a dilemma whether i should be getting 7900GS instead

One thing u will have to watch for if using 7600GT/GS, is this chipset/card does not have enough horse power/sofware quirk... if you indent to power direct-x app. in windowed mode on a 2d display desktop mode of 4MPixels displays (3MP and below shoud be fine).... No problem in full 3d mode..not windowed... My 8800GTX has no problem thou. Not a problem for those that dont used more than 1920x1200 displays

hi guys.im planning to buy lcd next month.here my need,

widescreen
20"
below 4ms respond time
price below RM1200
good for gaming

anyone plz recommend which lcd is the best??
btw, what is GTG(gray-to-gray) mean??

Time taken for 50% of 3 subpixel (one pixel) twisted to 100%/0% to back to 50% (same state as before). That would be at 45 degrees to 90/0 degrees to back to 45%....polarization of light plane.... Black to White to Black ,...in theory ..should be 2x GTG...

thanks BeastX for that info...

b.t.w. human brains usually dont register/cannot perceive differences in time below 16 to 20ms (actual .... not as quoted by lcd manufacturers)

Yes, is cheaper by dell but dell has better features than viewsonic. Futhermore the panel used is different.

I never own any LCD yet, but after some research the VX2025WM has some problem with backlight bleeding while some reported that the DVI is not working perfectly.

U means for ur GC or 7600GT?

I have 3 7600GS..2 with ddr2 one with ddr3 all at default 500MHz for gpu...which I roughly gauge slight deficit in performance compared to GT... that and I do own one 8800gtx.

hello
can i know what is the cheapest and good 20" wide screen monitor out there?

Dell's and ViewSonic's 20" widescreen LCDs have received some good reviews.

Cannot lah, ur asking too much from it edi unless you want a very bad frame rate. Don't kid yourself lah. You pay for what you get. Why not spend a little more and buy 7900GT.

if I dun play games, just do surfing and video editing, is it ok to use 7300gt for 20inch widescreen? how about 24 "?

anyone got experience with a samsung 205BW (20" widescreen)

I'm going for a 17" - 19" Widescreen - 17" LCD monitor(3LCD)...

I'm still unsure, if i use a DVI splitter would the quality will be less?Got any good brand to lookout for?

i have something to ask here.. i'm quiet new in lcd things

does my geforce fx5200 can be used with lcd? especially SAMSUNG SYNCMASTER 940BW?

Sure u can. U have the right connector, u are asking for full res gaming?
