Missing resolutions...

Im missing quite a few resolutions, that I would like to get unlocked (1680*1050 and 1440*900 to name a few missing ones). I dont seem to be able to unlock them anyhow. The resolution table of the drivers (LV2G 167.43 ones) seems to state all of the known standart resolutions, but they aren't avaliable in windows/games. It is Vista HP 32bit im running if thats for any use...

Anyone know how to unlock them ??

I read a thread on the forum some time ago on how to solve it, but atm im unable to find it

 

Different resolutions will be supported by different drivers in different games.
Basically your drivers will tell a game which resolutions your video card & system can produce, so instead of changing drivers each time you want to play a game in a specific resolution the best way is to look for a config file in directory of a specific game and edit it to play at your desired resolution. You may also be able to find other ways, specific to a game, through google.

If a resolution isnt available through the control panel changing your monitor refresh rate might unlock it.

Hope this helps

 

Sadly it wount :/

Windows/games wount recognise the resolutions, ie. I cannot get windows desktop to run on the missing ress either So something needs to be edited before windows will accept these.

Either it has something to do with the monitordrivers or a combo of monitor/gfx-drivers... But I remember someone posted a regedit fix to this problem, but I cannot find anything related by searching

 

A different driver from laptopvideo2go.com is your best bet, if you havn't already looked into it

 

Ive been looking in to that, but I need a BIOS-update before I can use other drivers without downclocking GFX clocks

But I got it working now, reworked the .inf's to support the missing resolutions, by adding the missing ress

So if anyone would need a reworked .inf for the 167.43 drivers I now got one laying around

But thanks for responding Willy_S

Edit:
If anyone should be interrested, the other thread I were talking about was:

Got some inspiration from the thread above and searching google a bit

 

You can make custom resolutions in the Nvidia Control Panel.

 

Under which tab ?

Ive been looking for that, as I know about it, but unable to actually find it and change the resolution through NCP

I guess these drivers are somewhat lacking several options... Ive found alot of "missing" files in the 167.43, while comparing them to other newer drivers (nVidia drivers are hard to figure, as it seems different versions uses different file setup? 167.43 uses nvcv.inf which aint found in the 169.09 ones...)

 

Under the Manage Custom Resolutions tab

 

examples here:

Missing following tabs in my NCP:
"Run display optimization wizard"
"Manage custom resolution"

And the whole "Mobile"-tab, tho i reckon thats because im running vista.

 

This sounds like you don't have the driver package installed properly. What did you do to install the current drivers? Have you uninstalled the current drivers, rebooted, used DriverCleaner, rebooted, and installed the fresh drivers?

 

Well they have been like that all the time tbh.

Ive uninstalled, rebooted to safe mode, installed fresh drivers, rebooted every time ive tryed to change, which should be enough

I think its something with the driver it self, as it seem to have a quite diffrent file content than other nVidia drivers.
