Radeon 9800 Pro Help - Resolution too low!

Regicide · 04-21-2008, 01:21 AM

I just installed the Radeon 9800 PRO on my friends computer and it's only allowing me to choose between two resolutions: 800x600 and 1024x768. I've installed the Catalyst 4.0 drivers and control panel.

How do I get a higher resolution? I know it's possible and it's driving me insane.

Try the latest drivers for your 9800: http://game.amd.com/us-en/drivers_ca...=xp/radeonx-xp

It's already up to 8.4, so 4.0 is years old lol.

Note: Underclocker's link is to the XP version of the driver. If your friend's computer is running a different OS, select the correct one from http://game.amd.com/us-en/drivers_catalyst.aspx

If you choose to install the full Catalyst Suite instead of just the driver, you will need to install Microsoft .NET Framework first. This is not necessary if you just install the driver by itself.
