It is the MVGA-T8900A Image Sharpener from Prolink Microsystems. It's using Trident chips on it. The manual says that in order to use the 1024x768x256 mode I have to have a multi-sync monitor or 8514. It indicates that I can't use a fixed frequency monitor so I just want to make sure, if I want to use this card to it's full potential do I have to buy a NEC 3-D or Sony multi-sync? Or can I use monitors like the Samsung CVB4581 which is analog only but can do 1024x768. Comments are much appreciated, I will summarize the responses.
