So i went out today and bought a new Graphics Card
Bought the ATI Radeon X1950 XTX 512MB PCI-e
Havent installed it yet. I will go tomorrow and buy a 650watt PSU and an extra 1GB Ram and then istall it.
So can someone please answer the following 3 questions :
1. ) I was wondering... Is it ok to download the latest driver/catalyst bundle from the ATI website and use that to install the new card, or should i use the CD that comes with the card (that may be outdated).
2. ) Can someone please let me know... Is it ok to use anyone of the two DVI connectors on the card , to my display, or should i be using an exact one (right or left). Asking because im new to DVI
3. ) Last question. I have a new card and a new monitor. So i was wondering about the Refresh Rate of my screen. Now im using the Ati Radeon 9800PRO and its set to 60Hertz (Analoge Mode). Now when i have my new card and a quite advanced monitor (Samsung 20'' Widescreen 205bw) and it will be in digital mode (DVI). What do you think is the best Refreh rate i can use at 1680x1050 without damaging any of my PCs components? I know there will be a recomended mode in the settings, but even so, is a little bit higher than 60 be ok? Please let me know
Thanks
Thanks guys...
