That is the highest normal resolution (3/4) that it will run at 85Hz. Any higher and the refresh drops. Plus 2048*1536 is just a tad too small on a 17".

Ummm no :)

I was wrong - it'll run at higher res at 32bit but the refresh rate drops to an annoying level (eg under 85Hz) - I had it running at 1600xsomething and that's when it wouldn't run at 32bit.

And it's definitely not an old 4mb card ;) it wouldn't run any of the apps I need to run at work LOL. Thanks for your concern and suggestions though. I guess I'll get a new top-of-the-range video card when they upgrade my work PC (which should be soon I hope) :D

171478 2003-08-29 09:00:00 Thanks vk_dre, you are correct. I was not being angry or impolite and I admit that I forgot a smiley emoticon to indicate that.

Stu, it is not!!! :O :D

That is his screen resolution. His monitor size would be 15" or 17" or 19" etc. :-)

Is that better? :-)


Oh, and I have 1024 x 788 on a 17" monitor also.

171479 2003-08-29 09:18:00 I used to run 1184x768 on my 17" monitor but the refresh rate could only go to about 72Hz. So I changed it to 1024x768 in 32bit, and at 85Hz - much nicer on the eyes ;)

I tested it out at much higher resolutions and really you need to increase the DPI up from 96 to see anything properly :)

171481 2003-08-29 10:24:00 When someone says "It is not" with 3 exclamation marks, to me it seems like there is a slight tone of anger involved.

I understand that you are pointing out that he was wrong, but the tone in which someone types something can be interpreted differently.

You could interpret this post as an angry tone, or as simply a comment. I simply interpreted your post to Stu as a (slight) bit of anger involved.
