Why, oh why can't we get a working 5040x1050 with WHQL driver Nvidia releases? I'm primarily a pc gamer, and I'm always picking up the newest games. Of course the newest games often require new drivers to perform well, especially with SLI. Getting top gfx card performance is essential when you're ...

Welcome and I am glad it worked for you. For me it didn't, while I was playing around I tried every refresh between 50 and 60 but still kept getting the test failed message.
However it is worth a try, the test failed thing is (I think) caused by matrox overwriting the custom res stuff. Svet-am ...

Anyone have a good SLI profile for this? (nHancer or not) I actually get some drops w/ SLI enabled that aren't there when I disable it.

Flawless surround support, you can even set if resolution is for 1, 2 or 3 mons (aspect ratio for menus, ingame looks similar, with ok FOV).


With my Q6600 and 8800ultra, I have avgs of about 45ps - 5040x1050 4xAA, 55fps - 5040x1050 0xAA

Awesome, thanks for the pics & update. Installing ...

Anyone have this already? I'm downloading now off Direct2Drive and wondering if the previously discussed TH2G support is actually included. Also, I didn't see an SLI profile in the 181.22 driver set... any one have any tips for getting good SLI results?

[quote][quote]Right, I've got it sorted, thanks to you guys' input. I eventually swapped my otherwise fully functional USB powered D-Link hub for a Belkin model I still had lying about, plugged the TH2Go USB cable in, and it worked!

Thank you guys for your help, I really appreciate it ...

They seem to be generated from your current resolution. I assume you've taken your screenshot after getting 5040x1050 since it says your refresh rate is 57Hz already.

It's the pixel clock that's throwing your monitor out of whack. The only method I could find to get it in the right range ...

Hey Killtacultur, are you saying you manage to get it to work with 177.83 (are u on XP or vista) ?
My computer won't even allow me 5040x1050 in 177.83. I manage to solve the issue but clicking Antialiasing off. The only strange secondary effet is that some 2d panels when called from the VC sent ...

It's not just you; I get the same thing in 5040x1050. Using 177.83. Works fine in other rez's.

Just thought about it, not sure if the 175.xx's will work with your GTX. Try them, but if it doesn't work, add the custom rez w/ ALL the settings in this picture (use manual to adjust the settings, ignore the "auto" in the screen shot- it's just so you can see the values). You will have to change ...

I believe your issue is the 177 series drivers.

Try my fix here (I know it's complicated) but it's worked for me multiple times.

Roll back to a 175.xx driver, reinstall the gxm, point your monitor driver to the gxm.inf, reboot, and ...

Hi guys ...
I have a small issue with the new firmware update ...
My 24" Dell monitors have a native res of 1920x1200 ...
As the new firmware can not do 3 x 1920x1200 I use 3 x 1680x1050 up-scaled and it looks good.

For single screen mode when I click "Change" in the GMX Setup I am ...

[quote]Can you try reversing it and trying this:

On my own last week, I had already tried that- and with the newer nvidia drivers, it was still not working even with the GXM .inf. So that should answer your question. It is ...

Just in my experience, I had to change the desktop between several different TH2G modes, and reboot a couple times before I was allowed to select it in game. Come to think of it, I may have had to power down the TH2G as well (mine still has power even when the cpu is off). Not sure which of those ...

Just an update, I've solved my issues w/ the newer drivers for the most part. Something is messed up (at least in my experience) with Nvidia's custom resolution options on the 177 series drivers.

Here's what I did to fix if anyone cares:

Went back to the 175.19 drivers (the latest ...

I even tried taking sections from the nv_disp.inf file that specified resolutions, from the drivers that were working with the new modes, and pasted them over the corresponding sections on the non-working drivers. Installed and run fine, but no dice on the new resolutions.

Maybe there's some ...

Tallon,

I'm not sure if this helps, but when I actually got the modes working on my older drivers, they were not selectable in the "Edit Mode list" (meaning I could not add them as a saved resolution) They were however available for selection if you choose the Matrox GXM setup..., and click the ...

Hello everyone,

Was wondering if anyone has gotten the new TH2G modes to work with any of the nvidia drivers beyond 175.19. I get significant perfermance gains with the newer series, however, for some strange reason the two new widescreen modes will not show up. I've tried 177.73, and 177.79 ...
