Re: richard burn rally fix surround

In RSRBR (which i highly recommend) you can adjust aspect from a dropdown menu. much easier than Hex editing.

Re: 4800x900 possible?

I was afraid of that... How hard can it be to make a new resolution anyway? Sheesh....

edit: I realize why not many bother to cry to Matrox about this... Man, those people make it hard to send them an email... Well, they're not sending me away, that's for sure. I'll get that email sent if it ...

4800x900 possible?

I have the misfortune of running 16:9 monitors on my TH2G digital, and alot of the resolutions are for 16:10 monitors. That means I'm stuck at 4080x768 as my highest resolution.

Is there any way to add the 4800x900 resolution so I can at least get a little more vertical resolution? Or even the ...

Re: Need For Speed Shift

This patch solved all my issues!

Performance is increased ten-fold, and I'm not exaggerating! Went rom stuttery, unplayable, laggy 30ish low detail hell to triplehead, all maxed, butter smooth glory!

The handling issues is resolved, the input lag is gone, and all is well!

Fix for inability to run in 5040x1050 - Official Thread

Check in the XGM software if your 5040 res is set to 59Hz or 57Hz. I had both. Games will automatically select the higher refresh, which may fail. I deleted, or disallowed, the 59Hz one, and it worked.

Wide Gamut Color

If you get a calibrated ICC profile for your display, that should sort it, right?

Lots of fairly chap solutions to build an ICC profile.

Latest 191.07: 5040 AND DX10!!

I use win7 x64 with a 8800GTX, so pretty similar setup.

Make sure you have the latest powerdesk from the Matrox site, that's the only one that worked for me.

So latest drivers, latest PowerDesk and latest firmware is the combo that is working for most people these days.

Monitor Color Matching

If you have identical monitors I'd start out with identical settings. If not I'd start out with something like the test patterns on DVE to get the ballpark settings correct.

I use my Spyder2 and HCFR after setting the contrast and brigthness controls, to do a greyscale correction for each ...

What does 182.50 have that 190.xx don't?

Waveztream: Remember if he's playing on a single screen he's probably at a lot lower res, and a lot narrower FOV, and that WILL give him a massive performance advantage over you.

You can't compare 1920x1080 @ 65FOV with 5040x1050 @ 145FOV. You're comparing apples to ... something very NOT apple ...
