Graphics card with DVI out at 1680X1050?

My new Philips monitor has a resolution of 1680X1050. My existing
cheap and nasty graphics cards handle this at analogue, but not
digital.

And trying to track down the resolutions that various cards deliver
seems impossible. That is one of the specs they seem to bury.

Anyone got any suggestions?

Nothing too fancy. I don't do games. Preferably AGP.

Various Matrox cards will go up to 1920x1200 digital - see

for example...

Try an Nvidia FX 5200 for approx £30.

I have two of these. Asus and Inno3d. Neither does that resolution
digital out.

Thanks. Looks promising.

And a web site that gives resolutions!

I've used nothing but Matrox cards since they first started, must be 10
years or more.
If you don't 'do games' they're unbeatable IMO.

Ah, surprised to hear that. I've only used the higher end of their range
recently -- the 6800 GT and 7800 GT do 1920x1200 over DVI nicely. The
Matrox recommended elsewhere in this thread might be good good if you
can get a decent price.

GF6600GT? I've got one of these connected to an Eizo 21" LCD running at
the same resolution and it works perfectly.

"Decent price" may be a challenge. This looks like an expensive bit of
hardware, with not much on board memory.

Maybe the others are worth pursuing.

Now that is promising. Just to check, is that digital output at that
resolution?

I can get analogue on the cheap nVidia cards.

Looks good as it is, so I am not sure why I am bothering about
digital. But I need another card, as my Shuttle simply can't deliver
that resolution.
