Hmmm. I thought they could do 1080i in other non-free OSes, so I bet it's not a hardware limitation. I mean, they say they can do 2048x1526 (or more depending on the card) over vga. A linux driver issue is possiable, though (which might include firmware if that is loaded by the driver.) I'd giv

Ok so some hours spent testing various modelines via analogue and digital has revealed that it is definitely not possible to get DVI-D output at 1080i or 1080p from this card. I have found a not unreasonably priced fanless 6800 from gigabyte. Its more than I would have thought to spend on just a PV

I've never been able to get 1080i working using DVI either. Its ends up looking "choppy." I'm hoping they'll fix this in a driver release one of these days ... Brad Templeton wrote: On Sat, Dec 18, 2004 at 06:20:38PM +, Simon Williams wrote: The image the DVI-D connection produces ( va

Agreed. In posting that, I didn't mean to be doing any scaremongering. I mostly found it to be usefull information on the DVI spec. I don't at all think that people should shun nvidia and buy only ati cards for dvi now, indeed, I think nvidia cards have better drivers, and thus may be a better o
