I have an nvidia 7900gt and want to buy a monitor that has a resolution of 1680 by 1050 (TFT). However, I can't find any specs that show my card can support this resolution. I know it can support a lot more than this so can I assume that there's a way to get it to display correctly on this wide screen monitor?

Thanks,

Mark

I have a 7900GS which goes up to 1920 x 1200.
1680 x 1050 is one of the available settings.

GS not GT though.

This is probably stating the obvious, but when you right click on your current display and choose properties then settings - what screen resolution options do you get there ?

It occurred to me to try that but the max is the current resolution which I assumed was dictated by the current monitor.
