Can somebody tell me if this video card (PNY Nvidia GeForce 7600GS 512MB 128-bit GDDR2 AGP 4X/8X Video Card) can support 1440x900 resolution? Any help would be much appreciated. Thanks

Short answer: yes — a GeForce 7600 GS AGP will handle 1440×900. That resolution is well within the capabilities of a GeForce 7-series GPU and is below the single‑link DVI/VGA limits most cards of that era support.

Why some people see only 1280×1024 (referencing ): that’s usually not a GPU capability problem but a driver/monitor/connection issue. Common causes are Windows using a generic VGA driver, the monitor’s EDID being read incorrectly, or using a cable/adapter that limits the available modes. Also note 1440×900 is a 16:10 widescreen mode — an older 4:3 or 5:4 monitor won’t advertise it.

Practical checklist to get 1440×900:

  • Verify the monitor’s native modes (manual or model spec).
  • Fit the card and connect via DVI or a proper VGA cable (avoid passive adapters that can force odd behavior).
  • Install the correct NVIDIA driver for the 7600GS (the driver enables the card to read monitor EDID and expose widescreen modes).
  • If the OS still only shows 1280×1024, use the NVIDIA Control Panel (Change Resolution → Customize → Create Custom Resolution) or an EDID/utility tool to add 1440×900.
  • If problems persist, test the card in another PC to rule out a faulty card or a motherboard/AGP-keying issue.

A final note: a system PSU around 400W is typically sufficient for a low‑power 7600GS, and AGP cards rarely need extra power connectors. Given ’s “lots of problems” comment, driver conflicts or a flaky card are the most likely culprits rather than an inherent resolution limit.
