Best Large 2-Monitor Graphics Card - Clarity

[incurablegeek]

Basic Monitor Specs for I-Inc 28 inch monitors (2) - (IH282HPB) - http://www.i-inc-usa.com/product/ih282hpb.htm

Exact resolution: 1920 x 1200
Contrast ratio: X-Contrast 15,000:1 / 800:1 (Typical)
Displayable colors: 16.7 Million

Given the specs of the above monitor (will be running 2 of those 28 inchers and 1 POS Acer 22 incher), what ATI Graphics card would give me the Absolute Best Resolution and Clarity. What I do not wish to do is buy under-kill or over-kill, the meaning of "over-kill" being a card with more "horsepower" than my 28 inch monitors can handle.

Note: I use only Cooler Master HAF 932 cases and Noctua NH-D14 heatsink/fans. In short, I have plenty of room in my Cooler Master Case - IF I don't park my car in there, a sacrifice I am willing to make. 😉

No gaming and No EyeFinity required - yet.

Question: Since I want to achieve the Best Possible Resolution and Clarity from these monitors, would I be out of my mind to look at the Radeon HD 7950?

Footnote: My psychiatrist says I don't take rejection well, so please be as "kind" as possible in telling me I am FOS if you indeed believe so. Otherwise, I would hope for your honest suggestions.

Thanks!!!

I want to thank all of you, especially PhotonBoy and Sunius for sticking by me.

Both of you provided me with much of what I like and that is countable/measurable/confirmable information - things I can further check on to see what card would be the most suitable. I am a decision-tree thinker. :lol:

True, Sunius, most reviews are nonsense. You are indeed correct. That is why I read only for information that I can check up on later. For example, if a reviewer says specifically that ABC or XYZ is the problem, then I can check up on that and determine if it's true and why.

HDMI:
Some computer monitors have HDMI inputs that are "HDMI-TV" inputs and only support the TV-VIDEO formats such as 1920x1080p NTSC. That's not a huge deal and mainly affects the ability to change resolutions but I thought you should be aware.

HDMI vs DVI:
If you have a DVI output on a graphics card and an HDMI input on a monitor then use a DVI->HDMI cable. you will not have any audio (except in some scenarios).

DVI outputs on video cards can output either:
a) normal monitor video, or
b) normal TV video
------------
If a video card has 1xVGA, 1xDVI, and 1xHDMI you can use two of the three, I'm just not certain if you can use any combination.

I would attempt to hookup the DVI and HDMI outputs first.

This response seemed to hit at the crux of the problem, i.e. the ports or hookups. While it's true I may have overbought in selecting the "GeForce GTX 550 Ti", I have also found that a little bit more money means better quality means fewer headaches down the line.

Thanks again all of you. Your every effort has been heartily appreciated.
