Graphic Cards that support 1024x576? (16:9)

Hi

I cannot seem to find out which graphic cards available support
1024x576 (exactly) for use on a widescreen LCD 16:9 data projector.
Anyone know where to begin?

Use the application Powerstrip with almost any card.
it allows you to customize almost any parameter related to display
technology.

Powerstrip may not be the easiest to use but you can get a lot of help on
many forums like http://www.avsforum.com/avs-vb/

As Hans has alreay mentioned, PowerStrip is the application to use.
Other than avs, you could also try the UK forum here:

www.avforums.com.

A Radeon 9600 is a good choice of card for DVD playback, as it has
better mpg deblocking than lower models. It's also fanless so less
noisy than the Pro version (which would be better for games if you
intend to play them on the pj as well).

Beware the many models of Radeon 9600 from various manufacturers. Some have fans
& others are fanless. Some Pro models are fanless as are some XTs. You need to
see a picture of the actual card or have a very clear description saying that it
is passively cooled.

They should all be able to do it. Just create a custom resolution in
powersrip. I've installed Radlinker (I think) on my htpc and I
believe that its listed as an option. I run 1776x1000@ 30hz... which
is 1080i with less overscan.

What? Computer monitors and presentation projectors have adjustments
to make overscan = 0, without resorting to bizarre resolutions.

That resolution is NOT supported by consumer video cards. You might try
looking into a more expensive workstation video card.

Powerstrip is a software solution that can generate almost any
resolution and frequency you need from a standard graphics card, and
1024 x 576 is one of them.

I've seen all the major brands of the 9600Pro and 9600XT, and all of
them have fans - ATI, ASUS, Powercolor, Sapphire, Gecube, Gigabyte.

Which ones don't?
