Alright, I am intrested in buying (well upgrading from gateway, only $275, ) the VisionTek GeForce 3 64 MB, but I had some questions for anyone who has the card.
What resolutions will the GeForce 3 support?
Basically I need Widescreen (16 X 9) resolutions to work with my SGI flat panel monitor. Especially I need itto support 1600 X 1024. Can anyone confirm if it does? Tech support didn't really know.
Secondly I was reading about the NVIDA chipset at NVIDIA's site, and they were talking about how most drivers for it are backwards compatible.
Does this mean that I can use, say, an Elsa GeForce 3 driver on my VisionTek GeForce 3 if it is better. Will it work fine?
Also what is the differance between Vision Tek, Elsa, or another companies GeForce 3?
Lastly do video cards affect video editing? I don't really play many games on the PC, and therefore don't really need a $400 dollar video card, but if it affects video editing, maybe getting the $275 deal is worth it.
Thanks,
David
