And it's a bit more subtle than that. As for drivers... I have the latest display driver from AMD but I can't seem to install the Viewsonic monitor driver, doesn't want a bar of it, so I'm using a Windows default driver from 2006 (which if I try to update says it is the latest).

So does that mean it could be the adapter or the vga cable? I'm going to try another cable at some stage.	Buff_K (691)
1277583	2012-06-21 10:09:00	Could be the cable, port on the monitor or port on the graphics card, why wouldn't you want to use DVI anyway?	icow (15313)
1277584	2012-06-21 11:10:00	Could be the cable, port on the monitor or port on the graphics card, why wouldn't you want to use DVI anyway? Because I have two screens and ones larger than the other, so I wanted to use that. BUT! Just to let you all know that I'm a COMPLETE IDIOT I just noticed before that my larger Viewsonic monitor has both DVI and vga also. My god, I cannot believe after all the plugging and unplugging of the vga cable I didn't see it, haha. So yeah, plugged in the dvi cable and she's sharp as. Back to playing Witcher 2. Thanks.
