I'm looking to get a new graphics card to support my new 24" LCD monitor. I don't want to spend alot of money and I'm not looking for fancy latest and greatest whiz-bangs. What cards have you seen out there/used that are reasonably low-priced, support 1920x1200 resolution, and can do the 3D stuff?
I'm leaning towards nvidia as the brand name, but now I'm interested in which models are best.
At least my NVIDIA Quadro FX550 can be used with 1920x1200 resolution both with the included driver and Nvidia's native driver on my Dell 2405FPW panel. Looks also like 3D desktop effects is enabled with the latter, although I haven't got Compiz/Xgl to work yet (haven't tried so hard either). Last time I looked, FX550 wasn't on the support list. Maybe you need a higher model to be sure.
IF you want to use 3D windows manager like compiz-fusion go with nvidia, with ATI I only had problems. I do not know about the new ATI. I have an nvidia 8800 GTS and I love it. The laptop has an intel in the mobo and also works great with compiz. For 2 D the ATI was great. -=terry=- -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
