resolution

Epburpee · 15 Sep 2013 at 10:57

i recently upgraded my gfx card to a twin frozr iii and since then the monitor res keeps lowering to something like 600 X 800. the native res is 1680 X 1050, but when it happens this isn't even available in the display settings.
ive searched for an answer but can't find anything specific. i tried rolling back system updates but it doens't fix it.
please help, ive got the evening off and i want to sit in my pants playing planetside 2

Check the display settings and see if your specific monitor has been recognised properly, if it says something like 'generic' try to find the proper driver for it. Try re-installing the video drivers as well.

Does the display settings show your actual monitor? Do you have on board and card based graphics? Try removing the graphics and monitor devices from device manager, uninstall rather than just disable. Did you have an AMD graphics card before? If so make sure the AMD control centre has been removed.
