Top resolution

Postby foo_fighter » Sun Mar 21, 2004 11:39 pm

Hi guys!

1st post in this particular topic
my problem is I got a GF Ti4600  124 RAM with the newest driver avaliable, and my top resolution is 1024x768x32 60 MHz - and is quite smooth while flying, I got 20-25 fps always
but is there a way to increase the resolution, let's say to 1280x.... in order to make good shots????
if so, how?

thanx in advance

cya!

Hi Foo_Fighter, I think your problem is your monitor.

If I plug my FX5600 into my old (8yrs) monitor, it only supports 800x600, if I plug the same card into my current Dell monitor, I can goto 1600x1200!
Incidentally, with my FX5600, I've found very little differance performance wise between 800x600 & 1600x1200 its about 3 fps in FS2002 strange, I'd have thought it would have been more!

Paul.

daewoo has a factory nearby the place I work it's a huge complex, from microwaves to cars!

and Spidious, sorry for the delay it cost me about US$ 260.00 + my old monitor I think US$ 280.00 total including tax - quite a good deal unhn?
the image quality is absurd comparing to the normal ones, absolutly clear and very very fast, no fliker and the UV emissions are very low - my eyes won't hurt after a 5 hr of flight LOL!

foo_fighter:  I once look at getting a LCD, but everyone I talked to said that its great except for gaming. It seems that there is a ghosting effect that appears in the screen. Have you noticed anything of the sort?

not at all! crystal clear image!

U'll have to adjust the settings for image quality, performance -> games in the setup of the monitor
when U do this, everything is just fine!

Where did you find this monitor??? I have a 17" LG Flatron and it only goes up to 1280x1024.   I couldn't find any LCD monitors of 17" that go over this resolution.  But I would be very interested if I could.  Is there a site I can go to to see it??  ;D

Hi Gixer,

I've bought it here in Brasil from my usual seller, he has this hardware  store and he buys directly form Phillips_LG which are producing together monitors, TV sets, cel phones and others, the resolution can be that high but hurts deeply the performance, I think it's easy for U (US?) find this very monitor too!

Ok. I must be blind  :-[  I cant find a 17" with that res in any of the online shops I use in the UK.  Are you sure its an LCD monitor?    (Am i right in thinking TFT is LCD??)

I can find CRT monitors with this resolution but not LCD/TFT monitors   :'(   If I can get a higher res LCD/TFT though it would be cool.  

Dont suppose you got any links to sites with info on your monitor have you foo?
