Q: When I was using an ATI graphics card, it offered the use of lots of widescreen resolution alternatives, like 1280 x 720, 1280 x 768, etc. I would commonly use 1280 x 768 for lots of graphics intense games, for example, Crysis, so that I could at least enjoy the use of my widescreen monitor while running the game looking good. Now that I switched over to an nVidia graphics card (eVGA nVidia 9600GT 512MB of GDDR3 RAM) I don't get these same resolutions within lots of games. So I have no choice but to run the games in a 4:3 resolution, which distorts the images of the game because the monitor "squashes" the top and bottom parts in order for them to fit into the widescreen mode. I don't like how this looks and I prefer the widescreen look, which optimizes the graphics to accompany the widescreen aspect. Does anybody know why the nVidia card does not offer many 16:10 ratio options?
A: usually installing your monitor drivers will give you all the resolutions your monitor supports... alternativly theres an application called powerstrip which lets you create custom resolutions.
