Hi pyterman.
'any resolution on the TV above what the card supports is created by the TV's own upscaling system when run through HDMI'
No, that is 100% false: I've used DVI-HDMI with this card and this TV for years and got 1080x1920, no up/downscaling, every pixel perfectly clear. DVI does 1080x1920. Simply use a DVI to HDMI cable.
'HDMI never works properly with old video cards, it either upscales incorrectly or has some sort of problem or artifacts.'
No, it usually does work properly if the card produces 1080p. Artifacts can come from your TV: make sure all 'enhancers' or 'fit-screen' settings are off.
'you will have to upgrade the video card'
This is the best card available for this mobo.
'You may get it to run better by editing the Xorg configuration files'
Yes, tell me more about this!
