I just bought a new (to me) monitor to go with my (upcoming) new computer purchase, and it has a maximum resolution of 1800x1440 at 80Hz -- is this a resolution that an 8800GT can do? Can anyone check their display settings? I know that 1920x1440 is a resolution option for these cards, but 1800x1440?
 
That is an odd resolution.

I bleive the resolution list that appears in Windows display properties is provided by the display's ini file, or from the display itself over the vga/DVI interface. So you would need to find someone that actually had your monitor I think to know for sure.
 
I would say don't worry about it, it'll probably work just fine.

What's the program... powerstrip? can unlock more resolutions and refresh rate combos that are available. I think. Never had a need or desire for it, but I've seen lots of people talking about using it.
 
TweakGuides ForceWare Guide said:
Manage Custom Resolutions

This setting can be used to add custom resolutions/timing modes to your particular CRT display. This is advanced functionality which most users should not alter. However if you know that your monitor can support a particular resolution, refresh rate and timing standard, then click the Create button here and you can create a brand new custom timing to associate with your monitor. This can then be used in Windows.

Available here. Hope this helps.
 
I personally like the Omega drivers that have been tweaked and already include more resolutions than Nvidia out of the box. They are nothing you couldn't do yourself if you know how and want to spend the time. Do a search for Omega's website. They are free.
 
I think Its should work with the Custom Resolution and Refresh rates in the Nvidia Display.
