Thanks Bill and Adam. I'll ask another question it would otherwise take me a while to get the answer to.
Native resolution. The monitors I'm looking at getting are widescreen 1680 x 1050. I see some cards list resolutions both above and below that, but not exactly that. Should I assume that the specific resolution is not supported by the card? I likewise see specs that say just because you don't see your monitor resolution listed, does not mean it will not work. Should I be worried or will the native resolution be detected and the firmware adapt itself to the aspect ratio of the monitor (make sense?).
