ati hd2600 question

[Drunen]

hi all

finally got my new gear up and runnimg, but cannot figure out how to get my hd2600 to run in hd 1080p mode. may sound like a stupid question, but so far i have only been able to find the standard resolutions.

anyone got any advice?

What are you outputting to, and via what means of cable?

 

[Drunen]

i'm outputting to 32" lcd tv using standard vga cable with dvi-vga converter attached to gfx card

 

[paradigm]

Use HDMI.

 

[Drunen]

does that merely provide a better picture quality ord oes it allow you to select different options for display resolutions?

 

[paradigm]

HDMI allows the graphics card and TV to work as one HDCP compliant unit, and is the standard adopted by the manufacturers to carry HD resolution signals.

Its also a digital signal rather than (as with your DVI>VGA adapter) a digital > analogue > digital signal.

I don't think your TV even does 1080p.
