As the title says, I used to use a graphics card with a VGA cable and Windows 7 reccomended 1440x900, which is my native resolution for this monitor. Now that I have installed a new GPU (PowerColor Radeon 7950) and used a HDMI as opposed to VGA, I can no longer use my native resolution, and instead, am forced to use the reccomended scren res. of 1024x764, if I go to 1440x900 the screen gets all glitchy. I successfully installed the drivers and what not via the drivers disk.
 
Solution


PowerColor includes a DVI-to-VGA adapter with their Radeon HD 7950 cards so try it out.

I have a VGA cable and an HDMI cable, no dvi cable.

May Already be solved but, HDMI only supports a native resolution up to 1920x1080 unless it is HDMI 2.0 (which supports 2160p). And for your driver problem; download them from the site, they are very much up to date. Also this might help, when you are installing your NVIDIA driver choose "Custom Installation" instead of "Express". Once it shows you what you want to install. Look at the bottom where it says "Perform a clean installation" Tick that box and click "Install Driver" that should get rid of any other remains of other drivers.
