Can Radeon 9550 display WSXGA+ (1680x1050)?
Hi All,
I'm looking to replace my old 17" CRT with a 20" apple cinema display. Currently I've got a 256mb ATI Radeon 9550. However in my display settings the resolutions you can set the card at don't include 1680x1050 which seems strange as its a relatively common resolution. Does anyone know if the 9550 supports WSXGA+ or of any way to force it to display in this resolution? Many Thanks, lw |

I think power strip can force resolutions, I know it's related to the card of course but the card reads the info from the monitor. Power strip will do it though, as far as I know..doen'st them manual state what resolutions are supported by this card?

thanks for the replies. to anyone wondering for the future:
even though the graphics card wouldnt bring up a 1680*1050 resolution in either settings or ccc, as soon as i plugged it in (via div) this resolution option appeared. Simple as that cheers, luke |

YEs, it reading the resolution info ove the DVI connection, most monitor and newer DVI style TV's contain DCC info, tells the GFX card what the display is capable of.
