What card for 1600x1200 dual?
I want to upgrade my graphics card from a Matrox G550, which doesn't
support the full native resolution of my new LCD monitor, and won't let me adjust colors separately on two monitors. I don't use games or TV, so I don't need 3D. My system: Monitors: Samsung 213T DVI LCD + Sony CRT Motherboard: AGP slot. Intel D845HV. Bus Clock 100 MHz. Processor: 180 GHz Pentium 4. 8 KB primary, 256 KB secondary cache OS: Windows XP Pro SP2 Primary use: Photoshop CS2 (My upgrade is on order.) Objectives: 1. To use the native 1600x1200 resolution of the LCD. 2. To calibrate the two monitors separately: Adobe Gamma, color, etc. What graphic card should I buy? - Max -- MisterMax http://buten.net/max/ Slideshows of Angkor Wat, Bali, Crete, France, Malaysia, Maui, Morocco, Mt Holly, Myanmar (new), Sicily, St Tropez, Singapore, Thailand (new), Tour de France. http://pbase.com/mistermax - Shadows and Reflections |

Any modern video card should be able to do 2048x1536 dual monitor. There are a few ultra cheap cards that can only handle one monitor but rare nowadays. -Kent |

I doubt whether any nVidia or ATi cards can do independent gamma for each

But I happen to own the 650 so I'm biased. |

I can't say definitively which is better since I've used only the Matrox P650 of those you mention. But I can say it's an excellent card that will do exactly what you say you want at least as well as any other card I've experienced. One of the strong points about Matrox is that they aren't forever introducing new products and quickly abandoning support for last year's models. Their support is second to none IMHO. There will undoubtedly be occasional updated drivers for the P650 as long as you would want to use it. And if history is an indicator, there will be appropriate Matrox drivers as soon as you need them when the next version of Windows is available.
