Hi folks,
I am in the process of building a new system and one of the components I am fairly certain I will use is a Spectre Model X20G-NAGA III LCD. From the reviews I have seen and having looked at this one in person it's a great flat panel, but the reports of a sync/shudder are caused by the fact the LCD needs a 1080i output to power it right. RMA'ing it will lower it down to 920i but I would prefer to not have to do that.
I need a video card recommendation that will do 1080i HD output and support a 1680x1050 res natively. I understand the Nvidia 7800GT, GTX do this quite well. Anyone have a recomendation in the $300-350 range roughly? If I go with ATI which card should I look for? From the reviews and such I have read I understand Nvidia is hedging out ATI somewhat but I am open to ATI as I run a 9800XT Pro on my current machine.
Also I am looking at using a 939 Athlon 64 to power this one. Will a 3800+ be enough or will that CPU be the bottleneck here?
Thanks,
GK
