Monitor native res. is 1920x1200 @60Hz which the 1650 supports - however whether you will get decent frame rates at that resolution with current games is debateable. If you are going to upgrade would recommend a nVidia 8800GTS or GTX. As you have a top end expensive display it is worth buying a decent gfx card to go with it. Icky |

X1650 Pro supports beyond that resolution and Dual Link DVI. Main thing is, don't use analog output to drive that resolution. |

My monitor is high resolution LCD 24". It is Samsung SyncMaster 244T Will the monitor lost the image quality? Have I to purchase a videocard with better feature? Thanks The X1650 Pro has one DVI connector and it is a dual-link DVI. That means it can handle extended resolutions. http://ati.amd.com/products/radeonx1...pro/specs.html Some info on DVI here. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dvi According to this, your Syncmaster 244T is 1920 by 1200 resolution. One thing I see mentioned about the 244T, is there is roughly 50 millisecond latency, between moving your mouse, and seeing the pointer on the screen move. That seems to annoy some people. Otherwise, a good monitor. http://www.hometheatermag.com/lcds/506samsung/ The 1650pro card seems to be a fine choice for video editing. Now, one issue you might want to consider, is HDCP. HDCP is an encryption scheme for protecting commercial HD content, as it is displayed on the monitor. Since you are buying a monitor that claims to support HDCP, you should buy a video card that also supports HDCP. In the case of the X1650Pro, so far, it looks like to get HDCP support, you need to buy a card with an HDMI connector on the faceplate of the card. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HDCP Potential manufacturers of X1650Pro - note that some of the partners on this page, don't know how to run a web site - which means their products are immediately ignored: http://support.ati.com/ics/support/d...e&folderID=588 This one supports HDCP, has an HDMI connector, and an HDMI to DVI dongle adapter: http://www.gecube.com/products-detai...rod_i d=62378 The previous generation of Gecube card, came with DVI connectors, and a DVI to HDMI dongle (black in color). The 1650Pro from Gecube, switches this around, and puts an HDMI connector on the faceplate, then you plug an HDMI to DVI adapter, to connect a DVI cable to a DVI monitor. I guess it works. Previous generation GeCube X1600 Pro HDMI (GC-HV16PG2-D3). In my opinion, this makes better sense with regard to connector selection on the faceplate. A DVI to HDMI dongle is a more rugged and secure design, than the alternative, which is an HDMI on the faceplate, and an HDMI to DVI dongle. http://pclab.pl/art22801-8.html This one supports HDCP, has an HDMI connector, and an HDMI to DVI dongle adapter. It isn't even listed on the www.visiontek.com web site. So we have to guess at the specs, in terms of verifying them on the VisionTek web site. VisionTek 900118 Radeon X1650PRO 256MB 128-bit PCI-E x16 HDCP HDMI Video Card with L-P Bracket http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16814129076 There are a couple extra chips near the faceplate of the card. But I cannot guess why such chips should be needed. I thought HDCP was supported by the GPU, and all that was required, was a flash storage device containing keys and the like.
