How to choose a wide monitor ?
I currently run an EVGA Geoforce GTX 950sc with a 24" acer monitor. I have often wondered about upsizing my monitor to a wide screen such as this LG https://www.newegg.com/Product/Produ...1A&ignorebbr=1, but I am unsure if my graphics card would be capable of operating the monitor at the 2560x1080 resolution.
Checking specs on my graphics card nowhere does it state max resolution. So my question is just how do you pair up a graphics card with a new monitor ?
P.S. I understand that Nvidia and AMD have competing schemes, also I am aware that this example monitor is capable of 75Hz refresh rate while my graphics card would I think max out at 59-60Hz. Note sure if that an issue.
Just found the graphics card specs.
- 240Hz Max Refresh Rate
- Max Analog: 2048x1536
- Max Digital: 4096x2160
On my card I have 1 DVI-I, 3 Display ports, and 1 HDMI connectors. So I'm confused about the Max Analog of 2048x1536 spec. aren't these all digital outputs?
Looks like the analog must be referring to the DVI dual link connector.
So can I answer my own question by saying I need a monitor with HDMI or display port inputs with up to 4096x2160 resolution ?
