How does V5 5500 cope with wide screen resolutions? As far as I can remember, 3dfx only supported normal 4:3 resolutions: 640x480, 800x600, 1024x768, 1280x1024 and 1600x1200.

What about 1400x1050, or 1280x800 or similar? I went yesterday to Media Markt/Saturn to get a cheap new monitor and literally every single one was wide screen!  Do new drivers allow custom resolutions?

I have a V4 4500 running on XP connected to my new Sony 52" LCD via the VGA port.  The drivers automatically detected the 1080 res and I was able to run 1920x1080.  Problem is everything is super tiny and it's hard to read even text from 10 feet away.  The start button was only 1 inch tall!  1360x768 ended up being a much better resolution to use.  I used powerstrip to set it up. 

But remember, this was all done using the VGA port.  I once tried to use the DVI port on a V5 PCI MAC card and used a DVI - to - HDMI cable to connect it to my older HDTV.  It was it was stuck at some super low res and really didn't work well at all.  I even tried powerstrip, but I don't think it wanted to really work right.

The problem is that I really dont have enough space for a CRT monitor. As the matter affect, I dont even have enough place for a big TFT - I'm living in a 4x2.5m student room Here I'm currently working on a 7" EeePC 

I found in Media Markt some cheap viewsonic monitors (about 120-140e) with 1280x800 and a VGA connector - can powerstrip "strip" the V5 to this resolution? I only have VGA output on my new V5.

Thanks!

Thanks. I'll try it out! 

Thanks! Just in case I bought myself a used 17" 4:3 TFT  over the Ebay. I hope it works... as the matter affect I hope the guy sends it eventually...
