Some applications, particularly games that require advanced 3D hardware acceleration, may not
install or run correectly on systems using the IGC.
6.3 Display Modes
The IGC supports most standard display modes for 2D video displays up to and including 2048 x
1536 @ 85 Hz , and 3D display modes up to 1600 x 1200 @ 85 Hz. The highest resolution
available will be determined by the following factors:
Memory speed and amount
Single or dual channel memory
Number and type of monitors
The IGC is designed for optimum performance with multi-sync analog monitors.
Digital displays may not provide an image as high in quality, depending on resolution.
