DELL E228W 22inch for HD 5970?

[Alexanderrazz]

Hello i will in the VERY NEAR future have a computer with a HD 5970 card and a Phenom II X6 2.8 Ghz.

Will this monitor DELL E228W 22inch be enough for this? Or should i buy a new monitor?

Thanks for viewing and for the incoming replies !

The monitor is my old one.

The 5970 is overkill, but if you like your monitor right now then there is no point in getting a new one.

If you want to keep using this monitor then I would recommend stepping down to a 5850 or 5870, since a 5970 would be completely useless for that resolution. If you want to get a bigger monitor with a higher resolution, then that would be worth it, but that's something you have to decide based on your preferences.

The thing i am concerned about, is the resolution of the screen.

Screen = 1600 x 1200 - Widescreen

Now that the HD 5970, can GO WAY HIGHER.

EDIT : Thx for the comment above, i just think that in some months, i will purcase the monitor that will fit the HD 5970 good.

I think i will stay with the old monitor atm.

You should get a kickass monitor like a Dell 3007WFP, or at least a 24" 1920x1200. Using that old monitor makes the money spent on the video card a complete waste.

Or get 3x24' 1080 monitors for eyefinity?

Heck, the 5970 is good enough for my HDTV. I have a Sony Bravia. It's only a 40", but this card is more than capable with that tv. Eyefinity is the way to go!

^^^^ Size of the screen doesn't mean "Jack" when your dealing with "TV Flatscreens"...the lines of Res are all 1080....of course a 5970 will handle "any size" 1080 screen.....its the 1920 x 1200 or 30" Native Res that starts "Stressing" the Cards....TV Screen Size is completely irrelevant.
