DVI to HDMI res.

[buzzsaw13]

I just got my DVI to HDMI cable and was using just the simple VGA before. I can't seem to run my monitors native resolution when using the HDMI cable.

BTW im using a Viewsonic N2751W with a native res of 1360x768 and using a 7900GT.

Go into your nVIDIA control panel and define a cusom resolution.

Tried that, and it says custom resolution can't be added.

The specs on your HDTV state it is 1366x768, is that the custom res you tried?


Looks like 1360x768 is for VGA connection

COMPATIBILITY
PC
Compatible from VGA up to 1360x768 non-interlaced

MAC
Power Mac G3/G4/G5 up to 1360x768

I did read somewhere that if both the TV and the vid card have DL DVI/dual TMDS links that using a SL cable can cause issues sometimes, HTH.

Thanks for the help, I'll be sure to try out the res when I get home.

Tried it, and says the same thing, invalid resolution input

If you have the latest drivers installed, did you use the flat panel scaling feature?

With a working DVI (or HDMI) connection, the graphics card should already /know/ the display's native resolution from the plug&play procedure.
