    Hi,

    I tried connecting my G'card to my HDTV and the best resolution it works at is 1024x768 :( shouldn'd this be able to go higher?
    I am using a VGA connection and to be honest the resolution is horrible, is there anything i can do?

    Thanks

    1368x768 or something like that.

    I got this working, i now have a dual screen setup, however i have run into another problem.

    When trying to play a game WOW, when i play it on the hdtv it has to be in windowed mode, because when i try fullscreen the tv says 'out of range' any input to this?

    Thanks

    Hey,

    thanks for the info :).

    Unfortunately i had intially had set up the hdtv on its own with the pc and the same problem happened.
    Using the dual screen now so atleast i can see what im doing.

    I was able to make some progress.
    I can open the game in WINDOWED mode in the smaller screen and drag it over and double click it to expand it and it works.

    But if it works in windowed mode, why should it work in full screen mode :S
