Dual FP monitor setup question ...

Hi all,

I have a DELL Precision 670 that came with 2001FP
later I upgraded the Video Card to EVGA 7800GTX KO.

Now I ordered an additional monitor 2005FPW but suddenly
I wonder if my new monitor arrives I can setup the resolution for
both monitors separately ... I hope so!

Thanks in advance,
Best Regards,
Giovanni

Yes, but the native resolution for both panels is 1600x1200 isn't it? They
will only operate well using their native resolution.

I'm sorry but the 2005FPW doesn't even support 1600x1200, where did you
get that info?

You are forgiven,
mine works great @ 1024x768@75Hz ...
you only get 60Hz @ 1680x1050

Hz is meaningless on an LCD panel. You could set it for 12 and it would
look and work the same.

not really, while it doesn't effect the flicker on the
screen, there is still the issue of what the LCD actually
supports. Often that's 60 or 75, maybe a littl more, and
nothing else.

True. I was using exaggeration to make the point that any supported value
works the same.
