If you use VGA, then I guess 5770 would be all you need for maxing out the settings and getting the maximum resolution supported by the cable. (VGA is low-res, DVI is high-res)

If VGA is in any part of the connection, it will be low-res.

Modern VGA can do up to 2048×1536. I'd call that high-res. Personally I've done 1080p over VGA (from my laptop to my monitor).

Oh.

I need to stop using Wikipedia...


EDIT: Doesn't it go by a different technical name for the high-res versions?

QXGA or something like that?

Or is Wikipedia really full of ****?

It just needs to be updated much, Yerdog.

Maybe it's just talking about the original VGA in the VGA article...

You're confusing VGA the connector, and VGA the resolution.

Oooohhhh...

Thanks for correcting me.
