7950 and Monster Truck Nitro, don't laugh

[CU]

I just upgraded to a 7950. For some reason Monster Truck Nitro no longer plays at 1080p fullscreen. It will only play up to 1600x900 windowed. Any higher and it freezes with garbled graphics as soon as it loads the menu. So far that is the only game that has a problem. I played BL2 for about 30 minutes last night and it ran fine. My kids really like the game so it would be nice to get it working again at 1080p.

I don't know if you are the same person but someone else had the exact problem and here is your solution

That was not me, but that is the same problem. Unfortunately that is not the best solution for me as my kids will never remember to load the game in a lower resolution and change it in game every time. It does work though as I just tried it.

Judging by this log I would say they never thought of a GPU having over 2Gigs of ram so with 3Gigs it reports it as -1Gig.

Maybe a bug in Unity that will not be fixed.
