Screen Size Question

jared17 · 12-17-2005, 06:13 PM

Hey everyone, I've got an Nvidia GeForce FX 5200 Video Card , and unfortunatly it only goes up to 1024x768 resolution. I was wondering if there is any possible way I can increase the resolution past that point, in the display properties it wont let it go past that. I'm also running XP if that helps any.

Thanks for the help

update drivers?

jared17 · 12-17-2005, 06:15 PM

I tried that already, it says I have the most up to date drivers, I though in the off chance there might be a way to get around it someone on here might know how because there seems to be a lot of knowledgable people on this forum

are you in maryland by any chance?

back to the questions...

try Powerstrip, it lets you enter in your own custom screen resalutions

My guess is your monitors limiting it.

Actualy I'm sure of it.

Yea, 34erd your right on the money. I can only go up to 1280x1024 because that is the max my monitor can go, but when i plug in another monitor it goes up to 2000x2000, or something close to that.
