I have an ATI 9600 Radeon on a Dell 8200 machine. I'm looking to purchase either a 20 (Samsung 206BW) or 22 (Samsung 225BW) LCD monitor. I've been reading articles about if the card's native resolution does not match the monitor's then the picture will not be good. When I look at my card's setting, it's set to 1280x1024. will this card work with either one of these monitors or is the card/PC too old to work? I do play games on this PC.Thanks, Tommy
it should work, you may want to invest in upgrading cards if u can, would look better on that nice monitor
certain frn,its lattest so it may go,yet chek abt the determination ,that how a lot u can enhance in perticular moniter for perticular card,no longer many video show gadgets helping too a lot severe determination,more advantageous positive chek style of visual show unit n its resoluton then purchase.
A 9600 isn't to bad, I used to have one. You really can't do anything but very light gaming now. Your much better off spending around $100 on a Nvidia 7600 GS. As far as the monitor goes it should be fine, your card will adjust to the monitor. I had an older monitor that would only support 1024x768, but my card supports a lot more.
as long as the card can match the monitor native resolution, then you're fine. I have this card, and it should match up with no problems. But you're right about the picture not being so good. If the resolutions don't match, then the monitor will have to interpolate to match the image and this will result in bad image quality.
