8800 Gts

I've hooked my 8800 GTS up to my LG 22LS4D tv.

The native resolution is 1680*1050, so at first I had to hook it up to another monitor and change the aspect ratio to 4:3...then use the my tv and change the resolution to 1680*1050.

I had to reboot, and when it booted up again, the settings hadn't saved and I couldn't display it on my tv. I had to go through the monitor process again.

I made sure I saved all the settings, and when I switched it off and back on again, the settings still hadn't saved!

How can I make it boot into 1680*1050? It's driving me insane =[.

That's strange, it should (in fine fashion) just work..

How are you connected from the graphics card to the tv. HDMI, dvi or VGA?

VGA.

The cable isn't damaged or anything either, I can hook up my computer to another monitor and it works fine.

And you're using plain old windows display properties to set the resolution?

I was using the nVidia settings.

Oh, I'll hook it up to another monitor and use the windows display properties to set the resoltion :P.

Cheers :D


windows display won't let me set it to 1680*1050...only 1250*1050 (or something like that). So I need to use the nVidia settings to get 1680*1050...will it save then, do you know?

SOunds like the monitor driver's iffy TBH. I think you can change some .inf files somewhere to fix that.

Ah, I had to set the nVidia settings to 1680*1050 ... then that allowed me to set the windows display option to 1680*1050...cheers :P.

Tom,

Did you get the bolt-thru kit for you heatsink??

Just that I have one spare if you want it?

After countless hours, I managed to get the push pins to work :P (somehow I managed to cut my hand doing it :S). Thanks anyway though.

Just need to RMA the RAM now...pffft.

Hehe, glad to hear (that you got it working, not cut your hand) :p
