  • Hi, I bought DELL 20 inch HD monitor alone nad my mother board Gigabyte RZ 2004 and AMD athlon XP. I installed all ok. but i cant see 1300*768 and more resolution in my settings. it says you have to purchase new graphic adapter. and i cant play or see HD videos and content in my monitor. now the setting is 1048*648. Please let me know what can i do to use my monitor in HD. My graphic adapter is now : VIA s3G Unichrome Should i buy a new Graphic card for this?

  • Answer:

    Via S3G unichrome ; integrated graphics, is what you have now... back in 1995 S3 made the S3 Virge graphic card, it was known as the first "3D Graphics Decelerator Card", not a great card... in the late 1990s Nvidia, ATI and 3Dfx were the main graphic cards to buy for gaming but there were many others and S3 was one of them. In 1998 S3 made Savage 3D card AGP 2X and made a SuperCharged version of this card as well... In 1999 S3 made the Savage 4 AGP 4X/2X and Savage 2000 with transform and lighting...S3 still makes graphic cards too but not for gaming...So you need to find out if your motherboard has any graphic card slots and what type and find compatible graphic card... 15360 X 8640 ( 16:9 ) (8640p) @ 300 pixels per inch is the best and most the eye can see since most people can not see difference between 1080p and 8640p, 1920 x 1080 is the native resolution you need for True HD (1080p). You will need a Nvidia or AMD graphic card for PCIExpress X 16 slot version 2.0 / 2.1 / 3.0 for 1920 x 1080 ( 1080p HD ), and need monitor with a native resolution, fixed raster of 1920 x 1080. If you want you can see ; www.S3Graphics.com on internet ; for their S3 Chrome 440 GTX or S3 Chrome 540 GTX video cards they can display 1080p (1920 x 1080) resolutions as well. Nowadays Nvidia 580, or 680 or AMD 6970, 7970 are examples of high end video cards capable of 1080p ( 1920 x 1080 ) resolutions for HD.

Hi, To put it simply you can't get that resolution because you're using VGA! You do need a new graphics card, however looking at how old your motherboard is, it just isn't worth it. You would do much better to get a new computer. If you only use a computer for the internet & videos it wont cost much.
