Custom Resolutions w/ VGA on R9 280x GPU | Please help :(

H37 · May 24, 2014

So this is my first build and everything went smoothly but the wireless adapter drivers and sm Bus drivers which will be in a separate thread... BUT I have yet to find a utility/program that will allow me to set a custom resolution on an ACER E181H moniter using VGA with a AMD Radeon R9 280x GPU and CCC or other utilities... I need higher resolution than the standard 1366x768 so my games will actually look half decent...

Heres full system specs and thanks for any help I do receive! -H37

That is the max resolution of that monitor. If you want better resolution you need to buy a better monitor.

I do understand that... The thing is I had a POS notebook a Compaq CQ50 that I used for extremely light games cause it did have an nvidia 8200m in it so I made do. And w/ that GPU you could set custom resolutions for the generic monitor it had built in. Just screwing around with it I could easily get a max custom resolution of 1920x1080, in like 3-4 simple steps. Now that was maybe a $30 GPU and I just spent $300 on this one so I'm sort of expecting it to be able to do the same, although I understand if it takes a little fiddling with to figure out! Honestly, no disrespect meant in this reply... If you picked some up it was completely unintentional, and thanks for the response! -H37

Oh I see you mean downsampling.

On nvidia it is much simpler yes.
