Hello guys.
Question is this. My monitor broke, 27 inch dell 1920x1200.. FPC cables to the LCD, it's not reparable, I'm going to part it out. Anyway, new monitor time. I find a good deal, resolution is 2560x1080..... My ancient PC has NVIDIA Geforce GT710 card, which will be upgraded eventually, but not now. Is this resolution supported? At what FPS?

Tasks are:

PDF
browser
video from microscope, both over HDMI and USB
video editing for youtube

Computer is Asus P5Q3, CPU is Xeon @ 3.90, lots of memory. Bought this pappy for $15, have it on my work bench on wall behind microscope and soldering station.

Maybe.

If the monitor is HDMI and also the microscope you are out of connectors I think. Might have to adapt DVI for one of them, which is a whole other box of problems.

Max supported resolution for the GT710 with HDMI is 4K at 24hz, so 2560x1080 should be able to do at least 30hz if not 60hz, for DVI it is 2560x1600 at 60hz, but adapters will have their own issues. VGA basically won't get you very far, and GT710 are likely to have HDMI and DVI or HDMI, DVI, and VGA on a ribbon.

Time for a more up to date card I think. GT1030 or RX550 or something.
