The cable from the monitor is VGA and the 7870 has no VGA. My 1st monitor has a DVI converter, but the second DVI input on the 7870 looks different Edit: apparently it's a dual-DVI, but I'm not too sure what this means. From what I've seen this is for allowing for a higher data rate, and not...

OK, going to keep this as short as possible but it's a somewhat complicated problem. Basically I have 2 monitors, one plugged into a HD7870, the other into the motherboard, Asus M5A78L-M/USB3 Motherboard My 2nd monitor was in its correct resolution however I couldn't open media applications...

They both blow air out. PSU is an OCZ 550W, which replaced some cheap PSU last Christmas

Hi My current setup is an Antec 300 v2 case with default top and back fans. I have an AMD FX6100 CPU with a stock cooler attatched, and my GPU is a Sapphire 7870. I recently bought the game CS:GO, and during gameplay, my computer shuts off randomly, which is due to overheating. I did add a...

I got a new GPU for Christmas, the Radeon HD 7870 (Sapphire) I want to refresh the Windows Experience Index, but everytime I try it it gives me "Could not measure video playback performance" I googled around and I found that there's a WinSAT folder, and everything there should by default open...

I'm not sure if this is a real problem, but I've had my CPU fan stop twice because of dust recently. I know that dust will naturally come into the case (which is an Antec 300 v2). The case itself has two fans, but only the top one is working because there aren't enough plugs on the motherboard...

Thanks for that, though I'm still a little confused. Just to let you know it's not being used for gaming as it's an old computer, more just for surfing the web. What does 1920x1080 mean then if 24" monitors display 16:10? And it only has a DVI port, so is my best bet a DVI to DVI or DVI to HDMI?

So do you think it's not a problem at all or is there something wrong

But if it's advertised as 1920x1080 that's implying it's 16:9, but when I set it at that it has the black bar on the right. http://amzn.to/13NBHWo <-- this is the monitor. I've read elsewhere that VGA might not support 1080p but others say it does, some say to use a digital cable like DVI...

What do you mean windowed mode? Edit: The problem is there is a black border on the right at 1920x1080, forgot to mention that. It goes if I change it to 16:10 resolutions

I have an AOC 23.6" monitor which is supposed to display 1920x1080, however a computer which has Windows XP and a nVidia 6700XL won't allow it to show full screen, if it's set as 1920x1080. It's connected to the GPU with VGA. It works with 16:10 ratios like 1680x1050 and 1920x1200 and fills...
