Hi all, I would love a little help in investigating a major issue I think I've found. I have several nVidia cards, and all of them behave the same way. If you have Windows 7 installed, and you choose a resolution of 1280 x 768, it works fine, and displays that resolution fine. (Since it's a 16x9 resolution, if it got it wrong, it would be obvious - a 4x3 res looks stretched on a 16x9 display). However, if you then query your monitor about what signal it thinks it's receiving, for all my nVidia cards, it tells me the resolution its receiving is 1280x1024. The same cards and same driver from nVidia (since it supports Vista and 7) work perfectly in Vista, (displays and shows 1280x768) but Windows 7 sends incorrect info about the res. It seems to be a Windows issue, since even the default Microsoft driver that W7 installs on system installation makes the same mistake. Can anyone with nVidia and W7 try this and let me know whether you get the same results? Thanks! Diz |

i don't have a win system to test on but i have read that using vista drivers on win 7 system seems to sort most of the current display problems |

No problems here, although I have 1920x1080 primary display and 1280x1024 secondary. |

my 22" shows 1680x1050 no matter what resolution i set it to 
nVidia drivers for Win7 and Vista are only available in the same package, AFAIK there is no way of choosing which driver to install, im not sure if there is even a difference between them. |

Thanks for your results, everyone. It seems there are some issues with discrepencies between what the monitor shows and what it thinks it's showing....well done Microsoft, you've only had 20 years to get this right..... My problem persists even with the Microsoft W7 inbuilt driver, so I'd guess it's probably their fault. what a bloody hassle. Back to Vista Ultimate 64bit. Arsebisuits. cheers D |
