According to BFG Website the max res using DVI is 1600 x 1200.
The native resolution is of the Dell LCD is 1920x1200.
Anyone out there running this card with a higher resolution that 1600x1200 using DVI????
This will be an expensive monitor if I have to upgrade my video card too.

I am currently running a BFG 6800 GT with Apple CinemaDisplayHD 23" at 1920x1200 with no problems except the annoying BIOS bug. Otherwise, everything is great.
My previous card was a BFG 5950 Ultra, ran the same monitor at 1920x1200 with no problems at all.
The card before that was a MSI GeForce4 Ti 4600, even that was able to run 1920x1200 using the DVI.

Thanks for you reply. What is the BIOS bug? TIA

Nice monitor but if you want to game on it. I would think twice..
1: Its PVA panel.... The reponse time curves for those don't look pretty...it might be 12ms...but only at the extreme ends of the curve.
2: 1920 x 1200 res. Thats 2.3 million pixels..
20 inch Wide screen is 1.76 million
20 inch 4:3 ha 1.92 million
that means you video card will have to do 30% more work. With super sampling based FSAA.....then it will be even worse.
You will seriously need a SLi card to drive it at such high resolutions... 2 x 6800GT PCIe + a SLi MOBO + a fast A64 don't come cheap...
The driver compabtablity of SLI isn't really that good.
so..Its probabaly not a good idea to get one for gamming.
