1351035 2013-08-10 09:47:00 I have just finished my new computer. Windows 8 looked really good so I thought that I should start to install the drivers to make it even better.
I downloaded and installed the AMD Catalyst suite and guess what!
My resolution changed to 640 x 480! :crying

Please help!

BTW: I have a Gigabyte 7850 if that helps.

1351036 2013-08-10 09:58:00 Uninstall them. Did you get them from here? (support.amd.com) if youre using 64 bit?? Speedy Gonzales (78)
1351037 2013-08-10 10:01:00 Yup, thats where I downloaded them Nerdtastic (16693)
1351038 2013-08-10 10:08:00 Can you change the resolution through right mouse /screen resolution on the desktop? Speedy Gonzales (78)
1351039 2013-08-10 10:14:00 Can you change the resolution through right mouse /screen resolution on the desktop?

Nope. Its just grayed out. Showing 640 x 480

1351040 2013-08-10 10:19:00 Does it matter that I am using a mini displayport to VGA adaptor?
I am using it because I don't have a spare DVI cable.

1351041 2013-08-10 10:27:00 According to google that maybe the prob, that maybe the max for VGA if you use a displayport connection. But whats VGA?? The monitor? Because according to the GB site, that card if its 2 GB doesnt have VGA on it. Only 2* displayport, HDMI and DVI-I. It maybe a faulty card? Speedy Gonzales (78)
1351042 2013-08-10 10:40:00 The monitor has a VGA input. I only have a VGA cable and I had an adaptor lying around.
Should I just use the motherboard VGA output?

1351043 2013-08-10 11:04:00 You may have to if you want a higher resolution. Thats if it works. Otherwise, you may have to buy another monitor, if it doesnt go higher than 640*480. But if you want to use the onboard video, you may have to remove that GB card first Speedy Gonzales (78)
1351044 2013-08-10 11:12:00 I know that the monitor is 1920 x 1080 because I only got it today!
It must be a thing with the catalyst software because I was using the same setup and it was working fine.
