Is it possible to go above 4096x4096 with an HD 4850?

Is it possible to go above 4096x4096 with an HD 4850?

Post by kodex »

So, I plan to get a third 19" widescreen tomorrow at one of the Black Friday sales, but I'm worried about whether or not my games will work at 3x1440x900. I use SoftTH with two 19" wides for the sides and a 19" CRT for the middle. I normally play at 3840x1024, as I don't really mind if the side screens are scaled. However, after playing-around with the BorderSize and SideExtraWidth CVars in the SoftTH.cfg, I realised that none of my games can run when the resolution gets above 4096x4096. Shouldn't DX10 capable cards like my HD 4850 support up to 8192x8192? I see that a few of you play at 4320x900, but do any of you have a HD 4850 and play above 4096x4096?

OFFTOPIC

On a side note, can you you take a picture of a few games with your current setup? I started a new thread for this: http://www.widescreengamingforum.com/node/#comment-

Carry on.

Nope, I can't, as I just setup my new monitor. I can tell you that it was literally impossible to notice when playing a game, though.

I have a 3850 and 3x19" 1440*900 setup which works fine, but with a TH2Go.
well, I just tested like 2 games, just got it today ^_^

WoW and dead space worked fine.
