    Ello everyone! Welp, i've been seeing posts with some people being able to run Crysis 2 for example, in 1024x576. All this talk about custom resolutions and what not definitely has my head turning. I current have the Verde 270.51 drivers installed, however, there is no option to add my own resolutions.
    So...
    Are there other drivers that i should install to do this?
    If so, please share with me! :D

    you set it through the intel control panel. some games will detect it while others won't like bulletstorm and homefront won't pick up 1024x576 but it does for 1152x648 (in that case you'd need to set the res in the ini file). Crysis 2 and dead space 2 will detect the custom res and play.
