- The video card from NEC is great but is not necessary for that monitor.
-
- The Radius card will work perfectly with your 3FGx. Since the 3FGx does
- not sync to the 20" monitor, buying the NEC card would be a waste of money
- unless you plan on getting a 20" monitor later.
-
- By the way both cards are made by Radius, look at the NEC advertisements
- with a magnifying glass.
-
- PS. There is no way for a graphics card to know what monitor it is
- connected to.
- For instance, if you have an NEC 3FGx, 4FG, or 5FG, or 6FG, there is no way
- for the card to know! Only the cable contains the ID which says what size
- it can support, and this is ambiguous for a multisync!
