What's with the artifacts in the top and how do I get rid of them Sad



Cannot get anything higher than 1600x1200 with the VGA lead still, it is set up as "generic non-plug and play monitor".

Perhaps though it's just as well to simply go with 1280x534 (or thereabouts), I reckon the difference between that and 1920x800 isn't that clear with my skills at setting up alignment and convergence anyway. Plus it will be less of a strain on the pj?

Your timings are up the creek.

Your res is just wrong. You need to install a custom driver (make it with Powerstrip) to go past 1600x1200. 1920x804p at 71.928hz would be good. You'll have to tweak the porches and sync widths to make it all work well.

I'm getting tired of spending endless hours trying to get a resolution and refresh rate to work, when it appears as though 1920x800p at 60Hz seems to work just as well straight out of the nvidia control panel (no powerstrip involved). The only reason for me to even try was to get rid of the judder or whatever it is that is causing the horizontal distortion lines in faster paced parts, but with the 1280x540 at 47.952hz it was in fact even worse :S

Think I'm going to take the easy way and go HDMI with 1920x800p then.

Odd thing is in the Nvidia panel I can test 1280x540 successfully, but when I choose to add it to my resolutions it simply doesn't show up. I added 1920x800 in the exact same way and it's there :s No idea why but fine, I'll go with 1920x800 then. Annoying bugger.


If anybody has some solution for the judder problem I'd be glad to hear it. If indeed it's due to the graphics card lacking strength there's not much I can do at the moment, the Zotac motherboard has an integrated ION chip and there's no expansion slot for anything else Sad I did test installing the Shark007 pack and running media player/media center (tried both), but for some reason that boosts the CPU to 100% which is ridiculous - Zotac advertise this motherboard as being a HD killer!! Mad

I could test with my stationary computer I guess, it's got an i7 CPU with 4870x2 graphics card. Could hook it up through DVI I guess.

Ions and other poxy little PCs will never cut the mustard.


You need a decent dual core machine with a decent video card, not a toy.

Typical Hard ass Aussie, no BS & cuts straight to the chaise Mr. Green ..

Haven't seen you around this neck of the woods for A while Mark A W, we were starting to get worried
that you had stepped over to the dark Side, Digital that is Thumbs Up


"I know for a fact it doesn't.
Well, it's not so simple. VGA/RGBHV is better than the two digital solutions (Moome DVI then Moome HDMI), that I have tried, and far less problematic."
Shocked


My Moome internal Full-HD V2 /external VP combo does A much better job than My 5-BNC /VP combo ever has,
What version DVI/HDMI cards have you tried out Mark ?..


Cheers...
