Ok, so I have been around the TH2G and setup many of them, but all on Intel Core 2 Duo systems and using 57Hz compatible monitors. I've been off playing in Eyefinity land for a little while and am now coming back to the TH2G, after keeping the pulse warm for a while.
After reading some threads, can anyone confirm the following?
1. TH2G will now work at 5040 x 1050 x 59Hz and therefore there are no restrictions on 57Hz monitors anymore?
2. TH2G can and does work using a Core i7 CPU at 5040 x 1050 (ie CPU is not a restriction anymore - some threads suggest this is the case now whereas earlier it was thought there was a link)?
3. Does anyone know if the TH2G is moving to support 16:9 resolutions as 16:10 monitors become harder to find (for future proofing)?
Any answers to the above would be much appreciated.
Regards,
Tim
In regards to #2, yes 5040x1050 can work, provided I use the 182.50 vista drivers for my Windows 7 x64 install, and the latest Matrox software. I do get black screen when it tries to apply the resolution, but a reboot later and desktop shows 5040x1050 rez. IMO CPU has no relevance at all, it's purely OS, Matrox Software, and GPU / GPU driver.
