hi, and apologies for the cross post
an nvidia 6600 card i am interested in claims it can do 1920x1200 at
100hz, but the manual claims only with 16 bit colour in dvi at that res
(although it does 32 bit colour at even higher resolutions)
if the refresh rate is lowered to 60hx (approppriate for the dell
2405fpw), will that allow it to do the 32 bit pallet ? is this likely
driver related given bigger screens will do it with the same card ?
i must say i can't tell the difference when i swap the colour depth
using the radeon 9550, but i'd prefer the full experience if i'm going
to buy a "new" card
Ash,
I always think that running a higher refresh rate than 60Hz is more
important than 32-bit colour. I can't see the difference between 16 and
32 bt either, but avoiding the flicker at 60 Hz means a lot more to me.
I'd also stay with Radeon cards over GeForce any day, but that is a more
'personal' preference than a practical one.
As you seem to be on AGP, if the box is getting a bit 'old', I wouldn't
invest too much in a high-end AGP card, as it may become obsolete when
the replacement only supports PCI-X. DVI or no DVI is the other issue,
but most cards support it now.
