Playing game at SXGA+ resolution.

#1 Post by daeojkim » Thu Dec 08, 2005 11:04 pm

So I would like to play games at SXGA+ (1400 x 1050) resolution, but most games do not offer this resolution as an option.

Is there a way to be able to play games at native LCD resolution?

It would be nice. I think game makers should being to add SXGA+ resolution as an option.

It's not that crucial to play games at native resolution. The image degradation of lower resolution will be much less noticeable (if at all) in games than in desktop work.

I'd recommend you take a look at the instructions by Tigerdave (search Google). The same procedure used for setting widescreen resolutions, can be used to change to 1400x1050.
I've played Quake3 at that resolution, with 2xAA fine. But the recent games, I doubt will run adequately.
