Video Cards that Support 1680 x 1050

[pcmodem]

Folks,
Haven't played games for ages, running on a GeForce 6200 TC and a ViewSonic VP930, around 1.5 to 2 years old.

Noticed that the card's supported resolutions does not include 1680 x 1050, even when the checkbox about listing all supported resolutions is toggled.

Is there a minimum GPU from nVidia that supports 1680 x 1050 and HDCP?



Thanks,
PCM

My NVidia 6150 integrated graphics dates from around the same time and does support 1680x1050. I remember seeing something in NVidia documentation about the 1680x1050 res being non-standard, but supported.

Have you tried NOT hiding all unsupported resolutions, and then creating a custom 1680x1050 resolution. After that, the resolution is available and you can select it.

Graphics chips have been freely programmable for decades (each within its limits, of course). Resolution support is between hardware limitations, video BIOS capabilities, and driver implementation.

Was running on around version 81 drivers...

Downloaded and installed the latest drivers from nVidia, version 162ish.

Now it lists 1680x1050 as an option. Good to go.
