Whats wrong with your new ATI, some guy in other thread thinks its better than any nvidia he has owned, but aint mentioned what nvidia cards he is meaning, could be a G-force 4mx lol.

If i take a guess, its driver that you dont like ?.

Nice CPU btw

It's got no support for 1680x1050 res on 24" LCD's..so am struck at 1920x1200 or a stupid low res like 1280X720.

1920x1200 is just a little to slow for games like fear,cod2 etc

Nvidia cards let you choose 1680x1050 which give you about an extra 12fps which makes a very big difference at these high resolutions.

Do ATI drivers unlike nvidia not let you add your own custom res ?, if not can you get any 3rd party apps to do it for you ?.

hey dude I run 1680x1050 with default drivers ?

On a 24" LCD or 20" LCD there no problem with running that res on a 20" LCD

No problem with the monitor..my 7800gtx's has no problems with running 1680x1050 on it.And the omega drivers can run the my x1900xt-x at 1680x1050 no problem..but the omega drivers crash all the time in half-life 2 and i can't overclock with them so i loose what i grain from choosing 1680x1050 over 1920x1200..plus if i try using overclock with the omega drivers overclock only works went it feels like it..

I know..

I must have spend hours on this problem..How hard can it be to add 1680x1050 to the drivers..
What really bugs me is that the omega drivers has it..Why has the ones on the cd-rom and the 6.2 not have it.. :confused:

I'm using ati tray tools with my x1900xtx, when installing make sure you disable overclocking
