ppgrainbow Posted March 7, 2014 Share Posted March 7, 2014 (edited) Hey there again! I installed the latest NVIDIA GeForce driver (version 334.89) on this ASUS M5A97 R2.0 motherboard and prior to installing the drivers for the EVGA 8400GS 1 GB GDDR3 graphics card, I was capable of getting display resolutions up to 1600 x 1200 @ 65 Hz on this Dell M782 CRT monitor.But when I installed the drivers, I was limited to 1280 x 1024 resolution @ 75 Hz. When I used Windows 2000, I had no problems getting resolutions as high as 1600 x 1200, but this is not the case with Windows Vista x64 running on this new graphics card.Is there a way to get around this limitation?

I added 1600 x 1200 as the standard resolution and it worked without problems.I will reboot the computer to make sure that this resolution sticks and update to see if it works or not. Be right back. Update: I rebooted the computer and it worked! That was pretty easy thing to do. Edited March 7, 2014 by ppgrainbow Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

j7n Posted March 13, 2014 Share Posted March 13, 2014 For nVidia cards, this should be accomplishable in the default Control Panel under Display -> Change Resolution -> Customize -> Enable resolutions not exposed by display (or adding a custom one). One of the few positives of nVidia. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ppgrainbow Posted March 14, 2014 Author Share Posted March 14, 2014 Thank you very much for the help. Everything is all good to go until I either reinstall Windows Vista or replace this Dell M782 monitor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
