More Information

This may be a really simple fix but i'm kinda perplexed right now. I just got done installing a Foxconn 8800GTS 640mb OC with a brand new Acer 22" Widescreen LCD. The native resolution for the monitor is 1680 x 1050, however in WinXP Pro when I set it to that it gets a little blurry/fuzzy. Also, I'm trying out FEAR and Rainbow Six: Vegas and there are no options to change the resolution to 1680 x 1050, just 1600 x 1200 so it looks kinda funny. My bro got a eVGA card and it came with all sorts of utilities to setup the card for games but mine didn't. Or is there something I'm missing?? My specs are below, any help would be much appreciated.

Thanks!

Specs:
Lian Li PC65B
Hiper 580W
ECS KN3 590 SLI
AMD x2 5200 2.6 2 x1mb L2
2gb G.Skill PC6400 Mem
Foxconn 8800GTS 640mb OC 575/1800
Samsung SATA DVD Burner
WD 80gb SATA HDD
