Resolution Problems

That older underpowered video card is apparently NOT powerful enough to drive a high resolution 1680 x 1050 display. Time for an upgrade of video card. -- --DaveW wrote in message ... Hi all, I have an older pc in my bedroom. Use it mostly for browsing the internet. It had a ATI 9600 Pro video card which died. I picked up an Nvidia GeForce FX5200 for pretty cheap (since I only need 2D graphics). I tossed it into the machine and it works at every resolution except the one I want. (1680x1050) When I set it to 1680x1050 (this is the native resolution of the monitor) it definately doesn't look like 1680x1050 and to confirm the monitor shows the resolution as 1280x1024. The computer and the NVidia control panel thinks that it is 1680x1050 but in reality it is not.I temporarily I set it to 1440x900 which works fine but it isn't super clear since the monitor is an LCD at 1680x1050. I really am not sure where to look for this. Wasn't really sure how to easily describe the problem so that I can perform a search. Can anyone shed some light on this issue? I don't necessarily buy that. 1680x1050 2D only graphics should be a breeze for this card. It works just fine with the VGA connector. |

When video goes through D/A/D conversion (using the VGA connector) it does not look as good as staying digital as with DVI. It is most noticeable on text. |
