1776 x 1000 resolutions on HDMI monitors

Post » Sat Jan 10, 2009 10:36 am

Hi, i have a 27" HP mon which runs at native 1920x1080, it has a DVI in and an HDMI, via DVI my native resolution can be achieved in crysis-wars, but via HDMI i have to fight with my PC which only manages 1776x1000 and i have black borders... i have checked with AMD the makers of my card and set various settings with my drivers, but whatever i try I'm stuck at 1776x1000, any one have any clues? thanks

Have you tried downloading the driver for that monitor yet.

Yes i have actually... didn't help, i thought the same as you, i did update my AMD card drivers to ccc10.10 (accelerated set) and it's better on my desktop etc, even setting my "game.cfg" manually to 1920x1080 just gets ignored, then it reverts to 1776x1000, I'll have to find another way... actually i just noticed i cannot install my monitor drivers as normal, not allowing me to change from generic monitor, maybe it's this...

Its probably because of the cable? Why don't you switch back to your old one.

Yes i should switch for normal play, but i split the HDMI output from my 5970 into two and then one go's into my monitor and the other into various devices to record game-play, i used to use FRAPs, but i like the 1:1 copy without any slow down etc...

I see reading on the AMD forums its not an isolated problem, many have had this and tried various solutions, none of which seem to work... i must get my monitor driver installed rather than this 'generic' one win-7 has for me, just can't seem to do it normally, I'll have to find a way... just to see if it's that indeed.
