hdtv vs monitor, do i need a certain gpu to use 1080p

 

[Computer_Freak]

1080p is basically 1920×1080

am i right?

if your computer can support that res, there is no need for anything else...

But, if you using a HDTV as a monitor, you will need a card that has a HDMI port (converters from DVI to HDMI i think are a waste, cause it not true output (correct me if im wrong))

what card would to this?

 

[Drenlin]

Quite a few cards have that feature. It's a search option on newegg.com...check there. I'd post a link but i'm on a cell phone.

Make sure the tv is 1080p, a lot only go up to 1080i.

 

[devildave]

all new (last year +) gfx cards will display that resolution with no problems

but gaming is a different story.

if you want to game at those resolutions, they you gonna have to get quite a good card (4870, GTX285 or something along there)
