8800GT and 2407wfp custom resolutions

[Uriel]

Just upgraded from an X1800XT to an 8800GT and the number of resolutions available on my 2407wfp has been cut down rather a lot.

There are no longer any widescreen resolutions available below 1680x1050. I've tried setting up custom resolutions in the nVIDIA control panel and it fails when I try to test the resolutions. I've also tried using the latest versions of Powerstrip and Rivatuner to create custom resolutions but these don't work either.

I've downloaded the 2407wfp drivers and am using the 169.02 nVIDIA drivers.

I guess this isn't a really urgent problem, as the only thing I could do with a lower resolution for is the Crysis demo on very high.

Solved my problem. I found this solution on http://www.tekbunker.com/forums/showthread.php?t=1960 and have successfully added 1280x800 and 1440x900.

1. NVIDIA Control Panel > Display > Manage custom timings.
2. Click both "Treat as HDTV" and "Allow modes not exposed by the display"
3. Click [Create...]
4. Under Custom display mode values:
Horizontal desktop pixels: 1440
Vertical desktop lines: 900
GDI Refresh rate: 60
Bits per pixel: 32
(don't have "Interlaced" checked)
5. Click [Advanced >>]
6. Under "Back-end parameters":
Timing standard: DMT
Desired refresh rate: 60
(the rest of the fields are grayed out)
7. Under "Front-end paramers"
Scaling type: Display (none)
8. Click [Test]
9. Click [OK]
