Quick question, does graphics card affect the different types of screen resolutions? For example: If I had a 6870, will it offer me the same resolutions or even better, as say a 5570? Or does it all depend on the monitor.
Your monitor only has so many pixels, you can't change that. [editline]4th July 2011[/editline] unless you somehow forced a higher resolution than the native one, in which case it would just downscale to the native resolution.

Older graphics cards may not be able to do higher resolutions such as 1920x1080 but most modern cards nowadays support very high maximum resolutions. (By old I mean several years ago) However, you will be restricted to the maximum resolution of the monitor, which if it's an LCD, is what you'll want to set it to.

Modern gpus support resolutions so big you won't find a single monitor with so many pixels.
Yeah, because I hook my computer up to my tv, and i put it at its highest resolution on hdmi and it has a black box around the picture.
Use GPU scaling to adjust it
