Quadro fx 1500 will not do 2560x1600

Hi everybody,

I have become the proud owner of a HP ZR30w Monitor. My graphics card (Quadro FX1500) however refuses to drive the thing at the native resolution of 2560x1600. It only works at half-res of 1280x800.

Here is a brief list of what I have done so far:

  • Installed every available quadro driver package
  • Exchanged identical quadro cards (work/home)
  • Put cards into different computer
  • Swapped dual-link DVI cables
  • Installed a fresh copy of Winxp 64 on a spare drive and ran the system from it
  • Had the monitor panel exchanged by HP (drastic, I know …)

This card is supposed to drive two (2) of these displays.

I don’t know what else to do.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you.

quick question what happens when you turn the res up? or is that not an option?
