custom resolutions

[gbr2]

do any of the current ati/nvidia graphics cards allow input of custom screen resolutions (in my case 1366x768)? i need a card with dual dvi outputs with but will use it only for 2d type business applications (ie no gaming). thanks.

I have an ATIx-850-xt-pe card in my sys3 (from my sig) and I have set resolutions of

1680x1050,
1440x900,
1366x768, (i think it was actually like, 1360x768, not 1366x768 - but i doubt you'll miss the 6 pixels)
1280x720, and [which is what I currently have it at, for media center 2k5]

I have not connected my ati card to anything higher than a 24" DESKTOP lcd, or a 37" 720P "tunerless-tv" lcd, which is what it's currently connected to

as for nvidia, but, my 8800gts supports
1920x1080p,
1600x900,
1280x1024,
1280x800,
1280x720,
1024x768, and
800x600 when connected to my 37" westinghouse 1080p screen.

On my 30" dell 3007fpw, I can do 2560x1600

It usually is not the card, but the display. For example you can do a custom setup on some nVidia cards and get 1366x768, but you would need a display that accepts it. Most that I know of are projectors. IIRC the Sony HS20 will do that res. A lot of large displays can probably accept that res fine, but I dunno of any model numbers off the top of my head. I just remember it mentioned on some projectors.

Playing around with the advanced timing options in your card's control panel or Powerstrip http://entechtaiwan.net/util/ps.shtm

might help you.

i appreciate the answers but they are a bit off to the side of the question i am asking. i want the ability to enter any screen resolution. if any ati or nvidia based card definitely permits this can you please let me know. it is not an issue with the display but rather with the graphic card driver. this becomes important if using a "television" as a monitor. for example i am now using a matrox card in my main system. they supply a utility which allows me to put in any resolution i want rather than forcing me to select one that they have built in. thanks.

ati lets u make a custom rez using a gui -- not typing one in manually..for tv output. the same feature is supposedly coming to nvidia drivers "soon"
