Title: Resolution problems
Post by: Mr Jive on January 22, 2012, 03:47:51 PM
Im using a Gtx 560 graphics card and a 23" screen (HANNS.G HL231dbp) on windows 7. For some reason windows 7 is only letting me use 1620 x 1200 as my resolution despite the fact that this screen supports 1920 x 1080 as its max. I managed to fix it on my desktop with a nvdia program but the problem is still there for games. If any one knows how to get pass this or fix it please tell me. I am also using a VGA cable for the screen if that would effect it in any way.

do you have latest drivers? is it detected at all by windows? and did you accidentally plug the monitor cable into the onboard graphics instead of the card? (yes this happens)

I have updated the drivers like 3 times and reisntalled them etc. Yes the Graphics card is being detected by windows  and I wish that was the problem but it is plugged in :P

Your resolution is probably not supported by the game engine just like mines not either. I recommend just running in windowed mode and getting it as big as possible without cutting it off.
