Country:  |  Considering a 690G-solution. Acouple of Q My questions: [1] I read that there are som issues with ATi's latest drivers - should I avoid using ATi? I think the Gigabyte 690G-board look so good, and nVidia's 7050-series produces more heat. [2] Is there someway to force ATi to output 50 Hz (@1080p). I have managed to do this with nVidia, but not when I fooled around with ATi (above mentioned mobo and same TV as I have). Preferably WITHOUT 3.-party SW. Other advise?

| Portal Member  | I have an ASUS M2A-VM HDMI which, while not perfect, I am quite happy with its performance. I have a 1080i TV and am using the standard drivers that were supplied with the motherboard with the display set to 25Hz interlaced. If I knew of the Gigabyte boards at the time, I probably would have gone with one of those. They seem to be "just that little bit better". |

So far no problems here though i cannot recommend this ASUS board because of BIOS and hardware compatibility issues. The Gigabyte board should be a better choice. backslash | |

Country: | Can you choose 1080i @ 50 Hz? If so: Anything special that needs to be done?
