Default 1440x900 on a FX5200 128Mb AGP 8X

* DaveW:

DVI connections do NOT allow greater video settings. Your card is too
underpowered to power that higher resolution LCD monitor at reasonable frame
rates.


Still not knowing ****, DaveW? Why don't you shut up if you don't have a
clue?

FYI: SingleLink DVI (which is what the FX5200 has) supports up to
1920x1200, DualLink DVI even more. A FX5200 does 1440x900 over DVI just
fine if it isn't one of the few that suffered from a buggy BIOS that
artificially limit DVI to 1280x1024 max. This is only the case on a few
cheap FX5200 and FX5500, though.

And as to the FX5200 being to slow: well, this is generally nonsense. A
FX5200 is a low end card but older games run just fine on 1440x900.

But then, you're DaveW, the biggest bull****ter on earth. So what else
should we expect...
