    Hi,

    Small issue, if I run HL2 the max res I can run is 1280xxx

    Is there anyway I can change this? I assume it's going to be driver related? If so, what drivers (safe, not fussed about OC) should I download as there are none on the NVIDIA website.

    Did you pick the correct aspect ratio in the video settings of the game?
