    Hi

    I am making a little comparison between different Graphics Drivers (@ W7) but I have a problem^^ I only have the trail version of 3DMark06 and some drivers make the "default test" set an other resolution:

    1280x720
    1280x800
    1280x900

    This makes comparison hard! (1280x800 not so mutch but 1280x900)

    Is there a way to force 1280x800 even @ the trail version?

    THX 4 your help!
    Greetings

    yes, remove that resolution from your GPU driver. OR, buy the full version of 3dmark06. OR, shoot me a PM with your email addy and i'll see if i can find an "alternative" source. your call.

    THX!

    Do I have to reinstall the driver or can I "remove resolutions" without reinstalling?

    you'll have to mod the driver itself (the .inf on Nvidia drivers, not sure about ATI drivers), which isn't easy AFAIK.
