Custom resolution w/ R9700?

RedSoxFox7 · Aug 17, 2008, 06:17 AM

I've got the most recent Omega drivers and I'm trying to find a good resolution for outputting to my HDTV. Unfortunately, I can't find any remote codes so I can adjust the overscan on the TV itself.

Right now if I run at 1280x720, there's overscan, but running at 1152x648 results in underscan. 1216x684 would be IDEAL, but I can't actually select it.

Is there any way for me to enable that resolution, or is it a limitation of the card that not even a new driver could fix?

edit: I tried messing around with PowerStrip as well, but even if I add the resolution in PS, it still won't let me actually select it.

You can maybe add it via editing the driver INF file or the HDTV custom settings in the CCC.

An off the wall resolution like 1216x684 I don't think is even possible. It has to be a standard resolution. I'd try 1280x684... that might work

The custom settings in CCC is how I figured that's the actual resolution that just fits, and it'll let me add it to the profile, but I can actually apply it.

I'll take a look at the INF, thanks.
