I received my BFG 6800 GT in the mail today...
great overclocker, i've reached the speeds of the 6800 ultra with little change in
temps and 100% stability.
PROBLEM. nvidia cards do not support DVI resolutions greater than 1280x1024!
I called BFG, they said that nvidia's drivers only support 1280x1024 digital. I
called nvidia, they said that it's the OEM's fault and snubbed me by telling me that
they can't help me over the phone.
I went to nvidia's site at this page:
http://www.nvidia.com/page/pg_20040406350192.html
at the bottom it says:
"Dual 400MHz RAMDACs - Blazing-fast RAMDACs support dual QXGA displays with
ultra-high, ergonomic refresh rates*up to 2048x1536@85Hz.
Dual Single-Link DVI Support - Able to drive the industry's largest and highest
resolution flat-panel displays."
If it can drive the industry's largest and highest resolution flat-panel displays,
then why am I wondering why I can't get 1920x1200 out of my LCD? I can't even get
1600x1200 out of it. The crazy thing is that with no driver installed, I can run
the thing at 1600x1200x16@60 on Windows XP vga driver.
I've tryed the custom resolutions, I've used powerstrip to create a new profile for
my monitor, I've tested the frequencies, etc. The nvidia control panel even says
that my flat panel is capable of 1920x1200, but I'm getting stonewalled at
1280x1024.
I'm feeling cheated now as I have a Samsung 240T display and can't use my native
resolution of 1920x1200 DVI. It worked on my 9700pro and my 9800XT from ATI.
I wanted to give nvidia a try again, but now I'm left sitting here saying "WTF!"
Have any ideas?
