Widescreen Gaming Forum

Hummmm......

Alt-enter to get it out of widescreen worked fine, but even when I select DX10, I'm still limited to 3360x1050 and if it matters in windowed mode, I can't budge the refresh from 60.

Suggestions?

Have you used the matrox wizard to apply the 5040x1050 57Hz resolution ?

When I initially ran the wizard with the old drivers, it wouldn't let me select 1680x1050@57. It would always list @55, which is what forced me to choose 1440x900@60 and then when I selected 5040 in the windows resolution, it would just work correctly from there.

Just to clarify so there isn't any confusion (not to say you don't understand what I'm saying, I'm sure you do).... the windows desktop itself is at 5040x1050@57 right now. If I was to use the wizard and install widescreen modes as if I were trying to install for the first time, it would try to set it up as 1680x1050@55, but that would just make my lcd's freak out. I have to go 1440 and then change the rez from there.

I suspect part of my problem is having 2 different types of screens. The 2 Westinghouse screens do what's needed, but not nearly as well as the 1 Viewsonic.

Probably yes (3 x LGW2252TQ here), when i use the wizard to apply 5040x1050, it says "55 (Input Refresh Rate 57) Hz" , and i play all games at 57Hz 5040x1050, without any issues.

Just another reason for me to get 2 more Viewsonics. Oh well, at least the WH's have a wide array of video inputs to play with.

My copy of Windows 7 Ultimate arrived yesterday, so I decided to give 5040x1050 another go.

Here is what I did:

* Fresh install of Windows 7

* Installed Nvidia 191.07 drivers

* Restarted

* Installed Power Desk 2_05_00_020

* Restarted

* Ran Setup Wizard

* Set Triple Widescreen mode for 5040x1050 at 55hz

* Wizard Restarted

* Wizard gets error updating Windows Resolutions

I removed the Matrox box and plugged one monitor in and was able to set up a 1680x1050 resolution at 57hz without issue, so some thing is up with the Matrox box. I'm also only able to run Left4Dead through a single monitor without using the Matrox box; if I try it through the Matrox box the video cards freak out and stop responding. Everything else runs fine.

I'm going to try again tonight and try setting the Triple Wide settings to 1440x900. So far every attempt I've done, PowerDesk will not force the resolutions that it should.

Far Cry 2 is running fine here on full screen at 5040x1050, DX 10.
Ill test other games on full screen too, its weird since im sure i tested it before and it would work only in windowed mode using DX 10 and 5040x1050.

@Mythiasis same here. Wizard gets error updating Windows Resolutions. nothing works.

Tried again setting to 1440x900 per monitor at 60Hz and still get wizard error updating Windows Resolutions.
