Where can i get some good drivers for this? The drivers that came with card suck and the ones I download are not so good either.

Is my max resolution supposed to be 1024 by 768? I had more with my POS 32MB ATI 128 Rage Pro.

 

[Rip_Uk]

yes, i had that card, it doesnt go any higher than 1024 x 768

 

[speedyink]

what? I have an FX5200, and it's running at 1280x1024 right now. It should definately be higher than what your getting

 

[Arm_Pit]

Yeah....You should be able to go higher, as long as your monitor supports it.

 

[Nutcase]

Yeah just install the new drivers. These should be fine for you: ForceWare 91.31 Windows 2000/XP WHQL Just scroll down and download..

I had FX 5500 256MB AGP and it was OK.. Runned it @ 1280x960 and it ran well

My max is still 1048 by 768. that's what i normally use anyway so it's all good. I guess my monitor doesn't support it.

 

[Arm_Pit]

Whats your monitor model ?

 

[D_Money5042000]

15" LCD dell E151 FPp and it says that it's max resolution is 1024 by 768 on everest so it's no big as long i get to play the sims 2 and guild wars

That's why you can't go past 1024x768, because the monitor doesn't support it. The video card can go up to 2568 x 2020 or whatever, but almost no monitor can do that.

 

[Arm_Pit]

Yup Bobo is right, if you want a new monitor and depending on where you live suck craigslist they have free 17 inch monitors all the time(Almost any 17 can go higher then those res) and cheap 19s, I just picked up a 21inch 19.6viewable for 35$ that goes past 1600x1200

WTF? 21" for 35? OK I'm gonna start my search right now and then give this 1 to my lil brother.
