[Xpert]Matrox G450 + 1600x1200 + 24-bit color
Anyone know if a Matrox G450 AGP has enough bandwidth/clock/whatever to do 1600x1200@24bit color at refresh rate of > 72hz? ___ Xpert mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://XFree86.Org/mailman/listinfo/xpert

Anyone managed to get an ATI Xpert98 (PCI) to do 1600x1200 at 24-bit color? I can only get it run 1600x1200 at 16-bit, even though the hardware should support it. The card has 8MB RAM and should do 1600x1200@75hz @ 16 million colors. The monitor is a Viewsonic PF790 which should do 1600x01200@77hz. I've tried every Modeline I could come up with and nothing works yet, even with with a Modeline going down to 60hz. ___ Xpert mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://XFree86.Org/mailman/listinfo/xpert

I have a TNT2 Ultra now, so I was looking for something better than that, although I have no real faults with the card. It seems to me that even if you just want 2D, the nvidia cards are still the best choice. ___ Xpert mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://XFree86.Org/mailman/listinfo/xpert

So I may as well go for the absolute best 2D I can get. Cost really isn't an issue, other than not wanting to pay $400 for top-end 3D performance I'll never see anyway. I just want support for high resolutions and refresh rates, say 1920x1440@85hz, true color. ___ Xpert mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://XFree86.Org/mailman/listinfo/xpert

What is the best pure 2D card in X11 with non-binary-only (read nvidia) drivers? Does a Matrox G450/550 compare to GeForce & Radeon in 2D? ___ Xpert mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://XFree86.Org/mailman/listinfo/xpert
