PLEASE NOTE: resolutions are limited by the performance of the attached monitor.

Please Note: With any passive graphics card the heat inside the system needs to escape. It is recommended to install quiet case fans to provide a way for heat generated inside the case to escape. This will prevent possible overheating and prolong the life of your graphics card.
