Running Crysis with ratio wider than 16:9

Post by **Paddy the Wak** » 06 Nov 2007, 09:17

I think you'll need the "Manage custom resolutions" in the Nvidia Control Panel ... as I mentioned in your other thread it shows up in mine.

What you want to do is possible with many games ... http://www.widescreengamingforum.com/node/6771

Crysis can run in TripleHead as shown here ... so my guess is you should be able to do what you are asking ...

Thanks, sounds promising.
I'll get it from Nvidia's site. Too much crap on guru3d for me, lol.

Generally Guru3D links to Betas that arent on official sites yet. 186.24 doesnt seem to be even on nVidias beta page.

Thanks

If it doesn't turn up at nvidia's site sometime soon, I may try to get it from guru3d. I just hate it when sites do like they do. I click to download the driver and it sends me to pages with Driver Robot, and other (probable) spyware programs. I'm never sure if I am downloading the driver I want, or some crap guru3d thinks I need. So I tend to avoid sites like that.

I know what you are saying, but Guru3d has been around ages. I get no popups, spyware or anything from that site. They are primarily a review site, not a hosting site.

Just click download, click ok on the disclaimer then select mirror to download from

After a nightmarish 2hrs, I can confirm the latest official nVidia drivers, 186.18 WHQL, are working at 55Hz 5040x1050 only on the desktop. Im testing my girlfriends GTX260 SLI setup (as one of the cards may be broken) in my PC and "what did work now doesnt" in regards custom resolution settings. Took a lot of driver installs and reboots to get one that worked.

The oddity in the 186.18 drivers is they will add the mode but it doesnt appear in the Windows Resolution control (ie you cannot change to it) until you open up the Monitor properties and untick "Hide Modes this Monitor cannot display". :x Still doesnt work properly in anything other than the desktop however.

EDIT: Updated, couldnt reliably get the nV CP to add the resolution in a manner that was seen by games, only the desktop.

No dice for me. It may be that my monitors don't really like 55Hz. I'm going to stick with 182.50 until I finish my benchmarking. Then I may move up...
