i plan to buy lcd monitor (TFT 7020), but right now i use vga card asus 7700 pure, how about dvi output?
can i just use conventer/conector for digital lcd?
like u know asus 7700 pure only have vga output?
maybe need new video card?
thanks....
 
TFT7020 have both vga and dvi input. Looks best with dvi. asus works, but new card good.
 
looks digital give the best picture than use analog output...
 
Get a GF3 when the GF4 comes out (in a matter of days), w/ DVI, and get the TFT7020. analog-> digital converter would be pointless considering that's what the analog input does...

Only if you let me see the Umpa Lumpa- Homer Simpson.
 
im going to buy the compaq monitor, but which card should i get, the radeon 8500 or the geforce, the best one i can find under 200. which one is best with the monitor
 
how big a different betwean analog and digital picture?
when i use crt monitor analog, picture looks good in my eyes, maybe because i never have lcd monitor....
 
Under 200 you should choose either GF3 Ti200 or Radeon8500 oem. Both are good performers but the Radeon may have the slight edge in both performance and image quality.
 
Image quality no. For the last time, there is NO difference. As for performance- what will u be using it for? Prof apps like GF series better (especially when converted to Quadro!), and R8500 may give u driver issues- which mobo do u have? Yes there is a huge difference between digital and analog in the TFT7020. Digital is the way to go.

For anyone with a picky eye, there IS a difference. Even a difference among GF3 cards. Some brands have better image quality than others. This isn't as apparent in DVI though so that shouldn't be an issue anyway.
 
We're not talking about anit-aliasing here. I am refferring to what windows will look like. Plus, 1280x1024 isn't really a very high resolution.

i use p4t asus, 1.9 p4, 4x256 rdram, play games little bit, use for app adobe or graph.
 
Graphics apps? Which ones? I really reccomend GF3 then, cause using rivatuner u can convert it to Quadro DCC, and install all the wonderful improvements for pro apps such as photoshop.

yep i use pro apps such as photoshop, a lot video editing.
btw when gf4 avaiable in the market? maybe i should wait for gf4 or new radeon
 
I meant 2D image quality. Everyone knows Nvidia has lacked in this department until recently. Get a GF3 Ti made by Leadtek or Gainward I think.
 
"until recently" Jeez, did we have to go through all that to come to the starting point that a GF3 vs. R8500 has same image quality?:) I like leadtek cause they make good cards- he should go with em.

Only if you let me see the Umpa Lumpa- Homer Simpson.
 
Not A GF3, certain ones. I was not impressed with Visiontek cards compared to the Radeon. I have seen Leadtek and Gainward GF3 Ti and both had good IQ.
 
wtf? I have never had ANY isues w/ my Quadro DCC, and my freinds w/ Gf3's have never had probs either, even w/ beta drivers. R8500 that can't be said about- my freind w/ an R8500 couldn't use it in XP cause of driver issues so now he uses a TNT2!!

Only if you let me see the Umpa Lumpa- Homer Simpson.
 
YMMV. Both cards have had driver issues in the past, both are pretty stable now. I am using an r8500 in XP as I type this and have had no issues in any games I've played yet.
