[PLOBLEM] 9800pro @ xt not showing some resolutions?

[⌐■_■]

Hi guys,

Here is my issue:

I have bought a 9800pro, flashed to xt stock speeds. The card has a r360 core and is being cooled by a powerfull artic silencer. I have never had any problems concerning artifacts or other fooked up things on my monitor.

The thing is: my monitor goes into standby mode when I put it on the following resolutions: 1280 x 1024, and: 1360 x 1024. Of course I allready tried a few things, respectively:

- flashed from xt to pro and vice versa

- locked refreshrates at lowest

- adjusted voltages

- tried another monitor

- tried several drivers, including older drivers and omega drivers

- updated to latest mobo bios

- reinstalled drivers, after removing all drivers (nvida, ati and onboard s3)

- installed windows servicepack 2

It's not that it's impossible because I have gotten this card to display the mentioned resolutions but that was when I just flashed the card. Windows was 'recognizing' the newly flashed card as 'new' and did not make use of the allready installed ati drivers. When I restarted my pc, I again, was unable to load the mentioned resolutions.

I am out of solutions (no pun intended, lam0r). Can anybody help me? Advice is greatly appreciated!

Nope, both models (Iilyama VM 1451 and Dell p09, both 19 -and 17 inch) are tested on both resolutions.

(whups I hit the wrong button... that missing post was asking if it was possible the monitors didn't support those resolutions)

No problem

Try these drivers: http://www.omegadrivers.net/

[⌐■_■]

Did that. It didn't work.

Do you have the proper drive to the monitor?

My monitor does not need drivers to run on XP plus I haven't found any for my vision master 1451...

Well i can only speak for me and I have had problems with refreshrate and resolution before even though i had right drivers for the card, but when i used the right ones for my monitor i solved it.

I don't think generic monitors can handle everything.

I know for a fact that it doesn't handle all refreshrates because i just recently (2 days ago) tried to change it on my monitor and i don't have the right drives.

Anyways here you have the drives for your monitor, only drawback is that you have to register, but thats cheep for a driver you need.

Its at Driverguide and if you google it you probably could find it elsewhere and maybe even without have to register.

At least its worth a try, and if nothing else it always feels better when you know you have the right stuff for your things.

Disable the refresh locks on every resolution and try again.

[⌐■_■]

Thank you very much, spellbinder!

How do I disable the refreshlocks on every resolution, skdr?

[skdr]

How did you enable refresh lock in first place?

[Spellbinder]

Untick that little box that says "only show refresh that the monitor can handle"

I'll do a screenie for you hold on.

[Edit]

Dammit i forgot i had swedish os, but i think you know how to get to the refresh any way.

Use the right drive!!!

Wow! I'm totally stunned by your fast replies!

And Spellbinder, I used that method. It's just that I wanted to be sure to have used the same method.

Thanks!
