my CRT finally give out , so I buy a flat screen but soon discover that the onboard video of my Dell Dimension 3000 could not provide the maximum resolution for the new 16-9 form factor . you have to download the new driver to get this card to provide this form factor and the max resolution . the driver on the CD do not do it . first physically install the card and then the new driver from the evga website . Use type 6 and then choose driver 296.10 . then disable the onboard video driver in the device manager and shut down . then switch the display cable to the card connection . when you restart , the system should ask you which driver you want and you can select the new driver that you just install . I do not do this , and have to restart in VGA mode just to get the driver install . when I connect the display cable to the card the screen be just black . I have to reconnect to the onboard video and disable -- but not uninstall -- the onboard video . when I reconnect the display cable to the card and restart the system auto-configure the monitor and I now have the 1600 x 900 resolution that I want . the color be clear and crisp . the evga support staff be very cooperative and help I to locate the correct driver but they and manual really do not give exact instruction about how to get this do .
