Hey all :)
I just plugged in my HDMI Cable in my monitor which is LG W2452V and wanted to test some games,i tried COD4 and it ran fine then when i clicked on Crysis it gave me this error : "HDMI Out of range"
and i had to manually close the game,so does any one know why this happens ?

I have the latest drivers installed + i am using WINDOWS 7 RC1 64

thanks

BTW,FARCRY 2 , PES 2009, STALKER CS all run fine

A very strange thing happened,i ran Crysis in DX9 mode and the game ran fine !
But it give the HDMI error when i try to launch it in DX10 mode.
(This happens for both crysis and crysis warhead)

Sounds like you need to tweak some settings. Try reinstalling Crysis. And specs.?

Is vsync or something on? Something to lock the refresh/framerate?

 

And is the dual card setting enabled/disabled?

Vsync is off,this didnt happen when i plugged my monitor with DVI,it happened when i plugged HDMI.
Its strange because as i said all of my other games run fine but Crysis & warhead doesnt run only in DX10 mode

Maybe some wacky specific driver or engine error? No idea.

Sound like an issue between the cable and the monitor with too much information.

Maybe you need a higher bandwidth (1.3a) cable.

its 1.3 version (not 1.3a) so i have to change it ?

Doesn't matter much, windows 7 supports up to 48-bit color over HDMI version 1.3c but your problem is with the graphics card and the way it "reads" your LCD through the HDMI cable. Your monitor specs are:

Sync Range
Horizontal Frequency 30 KHz ~ 83KHz
Vertical Frequency 56 Hz ~ 75 Hz

that means you should try V-sync ON from your graphics card driver and see if that changes anything.

THnaks for the reply :)

Try forcing the resolution and refresh rates from the drivers, maybe the game is trying to run at an unsupported res or refresh rate (try with something conservative, like 1680x1050 60 hz)

The manual for my Westinghouse HD 26" LCD says that to fix an "Out of Range" error set the monitor to it's native resolution, in my case that's 1920x1200 @ 60Hz.
I also noticed that in my ATI Catalyst Control panel there is a "Force" button that allows you to set the properties manually.
In that same menu there is a setting for "HDTV" mode with a resolution of 1920x1080 @ 60Hz.
It does seem that running the monitor at the native 1920x1200 is beyond the capability ("Out of Range" ) of HDMI's 1920x1080. ????
