Can't Change Reso

thewizard174 · Jun 30, 2014

So i have a shitty geforce gt 610 graphics card so i have to run most games on low and i optimized witcher 2 using geforce expierince and it changes the reso from 1920x1080 to 1280x720 but the game crashes at launch. This happens for a lot of games on steam like bioshock infinite, hawken, ghosts phantom recon... For Battlefild 4 my reso is 1280x720 and i can open it and play it fine. I would love to know how to fix this

Hi thewizard174
The gt 610 is a very low end card and suitable for the games you are trying to play at that resolution , i would suggest it may be time to upgrade to a better card

Yeah, what mickyphoenix said. What CPU do you have and how much RAM?

Rationale · Jun 30, 2014

GeForce Experience is pretty much garbage. It almost never gets the settings right on my PC, and with a bit of experience, any gamer can easily tweak settings themselves to get the most out of their PC, more effectively than GeForce Experience. I uninstalled it last time I updated my drivers.

Of course, we can't be certain GeForce Experience is causing your issues, I just recommend you don't use it because it's not helpful.

Have you successfully played the games that are crashing before, or is this the first time you've tried them?

I have an AMD FX-4300 and 8gb, everything on my setup is pretty good except that GPU... Ive been thinking of upgrading it for a while maybe a nvidia geforce gtx 650.

Rationale :

I have played all the other games that are crashing now that also had the 1280x720 reso. i don't understand why they all crash now... Also, i can play all the games with 1280x720 in windowed mode but the taskbar is very annoying in that setting

a card upgrade would be a good idea as long as your psu can handle it , what is your psu

herrwizo · Jun 30, 2014

Go for 750 Ti instead, it is approximately the same (or a little better) in terms of performance, but uses much less power. It doesn't even need the auxiliary power connector.

mickypheonix :

CoolerMaster GX 650w

herrwizo :

My only problem is budget. I have around $120 to spend on a graphics card and i can only find the 750 ti for around $150. What about the 750?

herrwizo · Jun 30, 2014

If at all possible, stretch by that 30$ and be happy

It will be worth it. If you really, really can't, then get AMD Radeon 260X.

herrwizo :

I'll see what I can do. Thanks for the help!

mickypheonix · Jun 30, 2014

no probs then a 750ti will work no probs for you without upgrading your psu
you could get away with up to a GTX 770
The GeForce GTX 770 requires a psu with 42A on the +12v rail and a 600W PSU minimum
Your PSU has 52A on the +12v rail and 680 watts

save your money , the 770 is a great card

thewizard174 · Jun 30, 2014

mickypheonix :

I had a feeling that 650w was useful. Another thing, I would like to get a nvidia so i can have the shadowplay, but AMD cards seem to be a lot cheaper. Is the extra $$$ worth getting for shadowplay?

herrwizo · Jun 30, 2014

Depends on your own preferences, mate. However, keep in mind that you are upgrading from GT610 to 750Ti. That is not one, but several worlds of difference in terms of performance. Absolute cr*ppy bottom vs a very solid mid-range performer. You can only be happy with whatever the choice you make.

mickypheonix · Jun 30, 2014

amd cards are good , at the end of the day , if you want shadowplay and advanced physx then nvidia is your only option
you will be able to max out so many games with the 770 , is worth saving for
