Hi... on many web sites this game is used for benchmark up to 1600x1200.. .Res over 1024x768 don't
appear in the video menu ? My monitor is a 17" Samsung LCD 1280x1024...I should be able to choose
1280x1204...What is the problem ?


Thanks

I used the DVi input.

You won't be able to select a res higher than the native res
of your monitor.

On the web sites where you saw the benchmarks, were there any data on
resolutions between 1024x768 and 1600x1200?

these res were available with my old ATI... and tell me, did you ever saw a game that goes from 1024x768
to 1600x1200 without res in between ?

Actually I have. If I remember correctly, MechWarrior 3 offered 640x480,
800x600, 1024x768 and 1600x1200.

With your current hardware setup, are 1280x1024, 1280x960, and perhaps
1152x864 available in other games?

games..


1280x960 ...the GT does not support it...but ATI yes...

probably buggy drivers...
