My 6800GT only has DVI ports, but my 21" Sony CRT works quite well with it.

Just get an adapter like Oral pain said, hell all card come with one.Originally Posted by Akill
i would get a CRT if it wernt for the fact that the 7800 only uses DVI
well id like a lcd with 1600x1400 unfortunately i suspect that would cost about £400?
A nice 21" CRT would be nice.
im gonna look into it, my rooms rather small a beasty 21" CRT could replace my bed lol
when i get a job though i can always make use of the dual monitor support on the 7800gtx and get a huge monitor next year

Even the Athlon 4000 causes a bottleneck with a single GTX. Thats why I'm saving for a FX 57, or whatever is available by the time I have enough for one!
so its pritty much pointless buying a GTX unless you have a 21" CRT monitor or more and run it at its maximum resolution.
your computer is similar to a fridge in that if it cannot keep a beer cold then it sucks
It depends, at 1024x768 compared to 1280x1024 in alot of games there are no FPS differences because the games are CPU limited, you only notice a drop at resolutions above 1600x1200

See above. This shows Doom 3 benchies. An example of a CPU limited game. (Credit to Guru3D for the graph)
what graphics card would you recommend to use with a 15" monitor. i would like to play the latest games for quite a number of years. i've currently got a GeForce 4 Ti 4600.

convinced me, CRT it is. i found a 19" one but a res of 1600x1200 for bout £120, the extra money from not buying a LCD goes towards the processor
thx guys
unreal, i dont think its right to pair a gfx card with a monitor. but i think most guys would say the 1024x768 pixels your monitor has dosent require much processing power. depends if you like your games full gfx or not. if you want a gfx card to process modern games on full gfx at that res im not sure but a geforce 6600 seems adequate?

Cripes. Have my 9800XT
Plain 6800, 9800Pro, 6600GT would be the best card, probably.
You can find an article analysing the performance of a 7800GTX with various A64s at the Firingsquad: http://www.firingsquad.com/hardware/...ng/default.asp
Basically they recommend something in the 3500+ areas.
Excellent, ill read this in the morning, cheers.
thanks for your hints, i only have enough room for a 15" monitor so i cannot play at resolutions greater than 1280x1024.
