Ahem - when I mentioned that the LCD display will look like crap, I meant that the fonts will look all wrong and wierd - the LCD can only display fonts properly at its native resolution - anything outside, and it will not look proper.

But I didn't quite understand what you tried to say... can u pls elaborate?

Are u sure about it? I guess not because if u give bigger resolution parameters to the LCD the screen will not show the entire screen with nothing go wrong with the font. The LCD will always show things better at its native resolution but lower resolution will show semi-blurred screen.

Go for Asus EN 8600GT.I have XFX 8600GT and it has some severe heating issues.XFX messed up some where with their 8600(s).
The EN version is also factory overclocked which means better performance and overclocking due to better Vcore.

Re: All Graphics Cards related queries here.

Is it safe to buy a graphics card from itwares? And there the price of xfx 8600gt is 5300. But i think its a defected piece which has severe overheating issues. Is that so? How do i find out if its that version or not. Because the model is not specified there. Do itwares sell asus en8600gt also?

hmmm... the desktop gets squeezed/squished when i try higher resolutions...
but cant i tweak it to a higher widescreen resolution? like old crts had 640x480, 800x600 and so on, so dont widescreens have a higher adjustable resolution?
ugh... im starting to hate my desktop cause everything looks so huge...

Don't buy any XFX 8600(s) many have heating issues and overclocking takes a hit when u try it because of already overheating GPU.Also XFX 8600(s) have problems setting fan duty cycle even through Riva Tuner.I have also confirmed these problems with another XFX 8600 user.

The EN8600gt i bought is not factory over clocked its showing as 540MHz Do u know why? and also some programs shows it as 256mb ddr3 and some as 512mb ddr3!! The windows dxdiag shows it as 512mb!!.
Its idle temps are vry low 47~50 and 55~60 at full load

was that a UDF7? the new UDD3 dun haf that issue whereas the first UDF7 has heating issue like one mentioned above.
XFX has stopped UDF7 nd now producing only UDD3.

Re: All Graphics Cards related queries here.

Dude.. you still haven't replied to my query - is yours an LCD? Is so, nothing can be done - you're stuck with 1440x900 unless you're happy with panning / crappy-looking-blocky-fonts - that is how LCDs are designed.

Wht is da cost of xpert vision nvidia 7200 gt 512 mb

Re: All Graphics Cards related queries here.

@JohnephSi
why that card? its pathetic in performance...get at least an 8400GS for some 2.4k from XFX. Other brands might be cheaper. It can compete with 7300GT.

Re: All Graphics Cards related queries here.

Is 8400GS = 7300GT?????

yeaah man... i have an lcd... i tried a zillion things, but no avail... ugh... as my last resort, i've reduced the icon font sizes...
so after all this, lcds do have this drawback... sigh... i was wishing someone would know how to tweak this...

Re: All Graphics Cards related queries here.

Folks - one bigtime nooob question - suppose I buy a 8600 GTS gfx card now, and have a SPI capable mobo, can I SLI pair another 8600GTS gfx at a later point in time? Meaning, do 8600GTS gfx cards lend themselves to be SLI'ed ???
