I have an FX5900 via DVI into a 19 inch LCD. I wanted to move to 22 inch, but I check my resolution settings. The slider only goes up to 1280x1024 with the latest driver. Would this setup do 1650x1080 (not for games) if I plugged in a 22 inch, or is 1280x1024 all I've got?
 
1280x1024 is th max resolution of your 19" LCD monitor. Hence why you can't increase the resolution any higher. Your video card will support higher resolutions as long as your monitor is capable of those higher resolutions.
 
Yeah, but I have it on generic monitor at the current moment, so how does it know? At the HW level?
 
The gfx card driver asks the monitor and the monitor tells it what it can do.
You will easily be able to support the res of a 22" LCD and much higher.
 
Go to display properties -> settings and click on advanced. In advanced, choose the adapter tab and click on list all modes.

This will give you the supported resolutions/colors/refresh rates supported by your GFX card.
 
A simple google search revealed: Max display resolution 2048 x 1536 x 32 bpp at 85Hz

Im not sure this is correct. As it only goes up to 1280x1024 in there (would be monitor limit).

You can create your own custom resolutions in the "Manage Custom Resolutions" section.
Tick "Allow modes not exposed by the display"
Now you can create any mode you like but that wont help your current disbelief as you cant test them anyway with your current monitor.

Wait until you get your new monitor and just use it, it will work fine without any custom resolutions.
I was using a Geforce One card in year 2000 at 2048x1536 res (on the very same monitor I am typing this on :)).
Your card will not have a problem.
