Any 8800GTX users?

couple questions? 1) Does it support dual monitors? 2) If I have a monitor that only supporst 1024x800 for example and your set the resolution to 8192x8192 can you "pan" around the screen? |

Yes, like most cards made in the last 8 years or so. 2) If I have a monitor that only supporst 1024x800 for example and your set the resolution to 8192x8192 can you "pan" around the screen? No. Benjamin |

I don't have one (yet), but the 'Gaming-System' I've ordered, and which will hopefully be delivered sometime before the weekend, or just after it, will contain one. Before I made that decision I have, of course, investigated it a bit. 1) Does it support dual monitors? Of course it does. About any videocard made in the last, say, 4 years or so does. 2) If I have a monitor that only supporst 1024x800 for example and your set the resolution to 8192x8192 can you "pan" around the screen? AFAIK this isn't standard fare of the NVidia drivers; usually the highest resolution one can select is what the monitor type you chose allows. Why exactly would you want to do this? If an application allows you to edit pictures of 8192x8192 pixels, it will usually also give you the option of zooming in/out and/or scrolling around in the partial view. Zoom in until your picture's pixels are 1:1 with the screen's pixel, and you will have what you want. If you want a bigger desktop, install something like a Virtual Desktop manager. Even Microsoft themselves offers a pretty nice 'PowerToy' for this, which allows you to use, and quickly switch, between 4 desktops. There are other utilities around which give you a user-definable amount of desktops, which are tiled together; so if you use one of these and define 10 x 10 desktops, you'll have something like you want. Good lucky managing that, though. Regards, Patrick. |

I've tried several desktop programs but they only allow me to put a bunch of
programs on each desktop. Not span a single window across several desktops. Should that be possible? I need one large desktop that I can open my program too and then work with it. I don't mind panning around the screen if thats what happens I just need the actual application window to be huge. "Patrick Vervoorn" wrote in message l...

Also I'm not sure why you can't set the resolution to 8000x8000 if you only
have a 1024 res monitor. My current Radeon X550 will allow me to set the resolution to 2048x1536 with monitors that only support 1024x768, I then pan around the application. Have you tried this?

Each size of LCD screen has a SINGLE specified Native Resolution. You
apparently stated that yours is 1024 x 800. That then is the MAXIMUM and Only resolution that will appear correctl and sharply on that LCD. P.S. There is NO video card that can produce 8192 x 8192. -- --------------------- DaveW --------------------- "HotRdd" wrote in message ... Is anyone here using the 8800GTX?
