Ren (Killshot) Posted January 16, 2002 Share Posted January 16, 2002 hmm, only thing I can sugest is new drivers, or check if you have tv out, and switch it off, other than that, theres no moniter profile thats restricting you 2 800 is there?

Joel Posted January 16, 2002 Share Posted January 16, 2002 ATI installs extra settings under the Advanced button in the Screen Properties tab, did you look there for a resolution limit? Mine had the same thing for resolution (and refresh). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
