New Card- Couple of Issues
Posted: Wed Jul 01, 2009 3:49 pm
Since installing my new 260 and installing the latest drivers (186.18) I've had something happen each time I boot up; The screen will momentarily revert to a very low resolution, and then reset to 1680x1050 ( my desktop native res), in the process scrambling all of my many desktop icons. Very annoying, as I then have to reposition them all in order to find anything.
Does anyone know if there is a setting somewhere I should be using to avoid having this happen?
I'm using Vista Home Premium.
Also, I've been experimenting with different screen resolutions for Il2, trying to get better FPS and target visibility. The game looks great at 1680x1050, but runs a bit slow since the maximum refresh rate for this is 60. The breakpoint for a higher refresh rate seems to be 1152x864 (refresh rate 75), and the game still looks great with AA and AF maxed, and good FPS, but there is some stretching of the image since this is not a widescreen res.
I'm using the mod that allows widescreen settings, but I don't know which resolution in this range would be widescreen. Can anyone suggest a true widescreen res in this range?
My monitor is a SyncMaster T220.
