Depending on the graphics card yeah, native.
I was playing Quake 2 on my pc at 1600x1200 at 85hz way back in 1997 on my pc running two voodoo 2's in sli, so im pretty sure pretty much all cards by 2004 were capable of both displaying and playing games of the day at 1600x1200

Hell one of my best buddies used to play Kingpin on his single geforce2 mx around about 2001 ish, at 1600x1200, and it was silky smooth.

But nobody in 2004 would have been playing, say, Doom 3 in 1200x1600/1080p, would they?
