Good morning,

I currently owe a ATI9500pro (not modded, or Oced, nothing, plain card)

I just bought a 2005FPW and I'm wondering if my card will have trouble using that monitor at the native resolution (especially in games) ...

So I guess I should uppgrade (but I don't want some 800$ card) I just want a good card that will last me a good 2-3 years for around 200-300$ (by the way, I live in canada) and that card needs to be at least a good uppgrade from my old one...

What ya'll think?
 
Well man, as we speak I have a 6800 nu on the way to my door, should be delivered today. It paid $165 at NewEgg for it. My 9500Pro's fan is dying and get kicked out of games, so I decided to upgrade. I do not however have a 2005FPW, but I noticed that if you purchase a machine from Dell that comes with one of these monitors, they only come with an ATI 300 series GFX card in them. So I am sure your 9500Pro should be able to handle that beast. I wouldn't see why it couldn't. But at the same time, if you have the money to spend and wish to get better you could go a head and make the upgrade.
 
Get at least a 6800GT if you want to be able to play games for 1-2 yrs still.
 
I didn't get the GT or Ultra just because I am holding out for a complete upgrade, but had to have something to sustain a running system until then.
 
There are good deals on the X800XT right now. Prolly the best imo.
