Title: Betson 27" Arcade Monitor and NVIDIA?
Post by: DeLuSioNal29 on November 25, 2007, 11:55:12 pm

So...

I recently purchased a Betson 27" Monitor and wanted to hook it up to a plain old NVIDIA GeForce 7 AGP card.  Will it work or do I have to buy Ultimarc's VGA card due to the monitor's 15Hz resolution?

Note for those suggesting the Ultimarc VGA2 card:  I plan on buying an Ultimarc PCIe version card in the future, but for now, I want to avoid buying the AGP version of the Ultimarc since that's all my motherboard can handle.  There is no sense in buying the AGP version when I will upgrade to PCIe later.  I want it to work with the AGP NVIDIA if possible and then eventually when I upgrade to the new MB with PCIe, I can buy the Ultimarc PCIe version.

Thanks in advance for your help!

Should probably be in the Monitor/Video section...

This monitor handles up to SVGA timings (800x600 @ 60Hz), so bootup an OS start are not an issue as XP will by default run at SVGA, and older versions of Windows and many Linux distributions default to VGA.  Modern nVidia graphics can be coaxed into doing standard res timings (15kHz horizontal) once the OS is running, so you should be good to go for accurate emulation of most games, as well.

There should be no need to shell out for any hardware on this whatsoever.
