Louis van Abeelen wrote: Jeff, Thanks for your reply. If I'm correct the 6800u has dual DVI ports, one using an internal- and one using an external TMDS transmitter. Could you please check if these resolutions work on both ? Yes, both work at 1920x1200 on my apple 23". They also both work at 1280x720 on my my Samsung DLP set. Having both work at the same time is important because now I can have both my monitor and my HDTV set connected to DVI ports on my graphics card, no more switching cables when I want to play HDTV files on my hard drive on my Samsung DLP set.

Jeff B The same card you are sending back because it wont run your games at 1920x1200? Since Jeff doesn't amplify his response, games are generally written for certain fixed resoltions and set the display resolution to one of those regardless of the capabilities of the display and video board. If you have a widescreen display this can be rather annoying. One thing I like about the Sanyo PLV-70 is that it allows this sort of thing to be dealt with without too much difficulty. An expensive solution though for most users. -- --John Reply to jclarke at ae tee tee global dot net (was jclarke at eye bee em dot net) |

I have a FX5600 Ultra running DVI to my RCA DLP HDTV and I can choose
1920X1080 or 720X480. I know the RCA will not accept 720P resolution on the DVI input so these must be the 2 settings that the TV will support. The 1920X1080 looks great, and the desktop is very readable except for the overscan. I will be trying to make some changes to correct for the overscan problems, got some info from the AVSforum. Mike T "Louis van Abeelen" wrote in message ... Thank for your reply. (what brand did you buy ?) Unfortunately the supported resolutions via analogue (i.e. CRT) don't say much about what is supported via digital DVI out. Without getting into detail it has to do with the bandwith of the so-called TMDS transmitter chip and/or the way resolution/refresh information is detected by the driver. I have read some reactions of 6800GT users that faced 1280x1024 limitations on DVI out. Any owners of the Albatron 6800gt ? Anyone succesfully using widescreen and/or 1600x1024 resolutions via DVI on an 6800gt ? regards, Louis "+c0re-" wrote in message ... Not sure if this answers your question, but I have a 6800GT in my system now, I'm running it on a CRT monitor. Here are a few of the higher resolutions I can select in display properties: 1280 x 960 1360 x 768 1600 x 900 1600 x 1024 hope this helps, I've been incredibly pleased with this card since I got it. "Louis van Abeelen" wrote in message ... Hi All, I'm thinking about upgrading my ATI8500 to an Albatron Geforce 6800GT. One thing that I am not certain about is widescreen support via DVI. The reason I bought my current ATI was the fact that it could drive my Silicon Graphics 1600sw flatpannel at it's native 1600x1024 resolution (@60Hz) Can anyone confirm if the 6800GT supports wide-screen resolutions up to 1600x1024 ? Thx, Louis |

Mike T You can only get 1920x1080 by tweaking it. I can not remember the exact term. I believe it just drops it to 52hz. The max spec for SL DVI is 1600x1200@60hz. TV is 1080i so it should not be a problem with Powerstrip. That basically takes up the same bandwidth as it would running 30hz. Eric |
