To be spoilt by choice

The following information will help you choose the best graphic card for your application.

• For general applications as Word, Excel, Internet-Browser etc. the graphical performance of the standard video card (ASUS AX300SE) will be more than sufficient as these applications do not perform in 3D.
  
  
• If you expect the best screen quality, then you should invest in a TFT-flat-screen with DVI-connector. This offers better screen quality because there is no digital-to-analogue-to-digital conversion. We have had our best experience EIZO with flat-screens.
  
  
• TFT-flat-screens with an resolution of more than 1920 pixels, for example the 30 inch Dell UltraSharp 3007WFP, requires a video card with Dual-Link DVI connector.
  
  
  
• Under Windows XP please adjust "Clear Type" in the settings for your display.
