dvi-d res

ozzo74 · 05-07-2009, 07:29 AM

hi,

i have a 8800 gts 512 card running like a dream but i have just boght a 22in amw monitor (x2210wps), if i connect with a vga cable with a dvi-i adaptor i have no probs, change res etc.

if i use a dvi-d cable (only 1 the monitor can use) and clone with my plasma then i am limited to res of 1024*768. if i dont clone i still only get 1024*768 res.

is this an issue using dvi-d or am i doing something wrong.

i have vista updates,gpu updates.

also when i restart my pc the nvidia control panel doesnt use the digital settings it takes off the digital monitor and just uses my plasma

forget the last quote above i think i have sorted this out.

cant have vga and dvi cable plugged in

i also rang the company to see if the max res was 1024*768 in dvi mode and there "tech" guys didnt understand what i ment.

1024x768 is probably the only resolution the two screens share. When you run monitors in clone mode they both need to support the same resolution , and 1024x768 is probably the only res between them that they support.

You uninstalled the card? It may not support certian resolutions when there are no drivers installed.
