computer problem
 

i have an ati radeon x800 and dell E228WFP, the native res on the monitor is 1680x1050 but i cannot go past 1280 x x

i installed the latest drivers for my video card, any other suggestions?

video card doesn't support that size

****ing **** god damnit

any suggestions on what to upgrade to ?

how big is your monitor? go on newegg.com and compare vid cards and look at all of their max resolutions, I'd give my two cents but everyone thinks differently. I'm running 1680x1050 on my 20" widescreen and its perfect. If you didn't have at least a 20" monitor I'd say its not worth the upgrade

22" widescreen

currently my computer is dual 2.8ghz p4's, 2gb of ram and i have a 22" widescreen dell LCD. it runs 1680x1050 native res but my video card can't handle that. i primarily use my computer for gaming but i don't play any new games, just warcraft 3 which isn't really something that requires a beefy video card. any suggestions?

if you don't need it... why get it?

err did you red the post? my video card doesn't support my moniters native resolution

I love my ATi x1650....dude, just look on newegg.com and compare the prices and max resolutions, if all your looking for is something close to what you have now with more rez, you should have no problem

Look at what I'm running:

Max Resolution 2560 x 1600

nice, i need pci though

:rock:you can get it in both agp/pci express flavors

this looks good

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16814102075

pci-e x16

under 150, 512mb

I find it very odd that a x800 can't support a higher res than 1280x1024.

i just got it working, had to go to monitor properties and uncheck some ****


running 1680x1050 at 60hz and i love it, my eyes dont hurt so much anymore

Yeah I was just about to tell you that the card def can handle the resolution. Good you got it working. Saves my fingers from typing lol.

dude just get the Omega drivers they will probaly support the resolution you want omegadrivers.net/ati.php :)

edit: saw you got it working XD

i actually tried, they don't seem to have vista ones and i wasn't sure if the xp drivers would be backwords compatable
