A faster RAMDAC allows for a faster refresh rate? -- Frap 09:44, 8 November 2006 (UTC)

yes, the faster the ramdac, the faster the possible refresh rate, and the bigger the possible resolution. In newer than a few years PCs the Ramdac is fast enough for really all purpose. 87.234.229.209 19:08, 30 November 2006 (UTC)

What is the upper limit of a 400 MHz ramdac? If you use DVI, it still use ramdac?

[edit] What's the formula?

How is the MHz rating for the RAMDAC calculated? I thought it was H x W x Hz x bit-depth, but that's not right. ---Ransom (--208.25.0.2 20:55, 8 February 2007 (UTC))

Actually color depth has nothing to do with the (analogue) bandwidth rating of the RAMDAC. It's more like H (plus blanking clocks) x W (plus blanking clocks) x Hz x 2. Zac67 (talk) 22:02, 5 December 2007 (UTC)

PS: got that mixed up with the sampling theorem - cut the "x 2" part above. Zac67 (talk) 21:39, 29 December 2007 (UTC)

Add formula to article. -- Frap (talk) 14:33, 6 December 2007 (UTC)
