HI all, this is my first post (please be gentle). So I purchased a 22" widescreen and now I'm looking for a video card that can run the 1680 x 1050 resolution. I'm not using this PC for gaming so I'd like to buy a card in the relatively cheaper range that can run this resolution. What suggestions for video cards do you have?
Thanks for the help.
 
i use a 7600GT and it games just fine, so anything below that would be perfect for you, and under $100. it just depends on what interface you want to use. see if your motherboard supports AGP x4 or x8, PCI, or PCI express x1 or x16. PCIe x16 is the standard and best performing slot as of now, and most cards will either be that or AGP.
 
I am using an ATI X800XL on my 22 inch LCD Widescreen and it looks great. I dont know if it will run games as well as some of the newer cards, but it does the job considering I am also running a 19 on it as well.

ok you lost me. sorry. What brand is the 7600GT? what models are below that as you say?
Is there an easy way to see what my motherboard supports? hmm I'l have to check which one I have. Its about 3 years old but is a 2.53 ghz Pentium 4. Thats the extent of my knowledge. :(
Thanks for the info.
 
Gosh stop confusing him all he needs is a basic video card that supports 1650x1050. Echoshock can we please have the model number and brand of your computer so we can help you by seeing what type of video card would be compatible with your computer?

The computer was assembled from parts.. Not a store bought PC. I hope this is the proper motherboard info you would need.
P4 Titan-533 by Gigabyte. Is that what you would need to know?
Thanks..

Any other card recommendations? I found out my board has AGP slot supporting 4x mode.
So based on this, please let me know some budget cards to support the 22" widescreen resolution.
Thanks!
