 |
|
In order to get windows to use 1920x1200, I need to uncheck "Hide modes that my monitor cannot display".
But video games still cannot detect that 1920x1200 is possible... only 1600x1200, because I'm using DVI to VGA adapter.
Is there any way around this?

| Try using DxWnd and closing the program while the client is booted up. It should return your game to fullscreen no matter the detection.

Two things you will need in order go get 1920x1200 resolution
1. A LCD monitor with DVI output
2. A graphic card supporting it. Since most new graphic cards can support up to a 30" then getting 1920x1200 shouldn't be a problem.
As for your game, maybe the max. is 1600x1200.
Note: graphic card also needs to have DVI

VGA can support 1920x1200 just fine. Not sure why your video card can't detect it correctly.
But why are you even using VGA?

Is it just one game that's raping you or is it all games?

I've seen a few (mainly HP) computers, who which only had DVI, which is the best?, DVI or VGA?, i would guess DVI, since its the most used....

Analog vs digital: go with DVI if you have the choice.

Kay  , my gfx card has a DVI and a VGA, and i got 2 matching screens, both with an option for DVI and VGA. I run the main screen of DVI, the screen which runs from the VGA slot (secondary screen) has a wierd ass resolution, and i have to re-detect it every time i restart the computer..., any reason for that?, it doesn't do that when i switch it (so that the main screen is VGA), but that causes the main screen to switch to the DVI screen sometimes...

You are all noobs. I have a 24" BenQ monitor 1920x1200 and just bought a 9800 GTX+.
What I would have had to do is install some kind of monitor driver that tells my computer what resolutions it supports, because that's normally done automatically through DVI.
Anyway I found my DVI cable, so this is no longer a problem.
It seems as though the old nvidia control panel would create the custom resolution so that it would be available in games, but the new one doesn't... or something.

So let me get this straight. You ask for help, then insult the people who try to help you by calling them noobs? What were they supposed to do, go out and buy your exact setup so they could find a solution?

I've been setting up multiple monitors on a single machine (8 screens max.) across different size screens (22-24 and a 42" LCD TV) and none of them requires me to install their monitor driver or get a high-end card. All it takes is a simple card like a GeForce 8400GS (4 of them) and about 15 minutes to get the job done.
Looks like your technical skills needs a lot more polishing.
Also getting a 9800GTX+ just so you can achieve that resolution is just pathetic.

DVI will be better than VGA
DisplayPort>HDMI>DVI>VGA
