Windows 7 - How to force nvidia to use 1680x1050

Hi to all!

I am using windows 7 RC x64 (build 7100) and i cant use 1680x1050 res on my monitor. Now i am using 1440x900. It shows me that i can use 1680x1050 res but when i apply, it automatic change to 1600x1200. So how i can force my grafic card to use 1680x1050?

I have nvidia GeForce 8500 GT
GeForce 8500

I am using Samsung SyncMaster 2023NW 20" Widescreen TFT Monitor

Any help would be appreciated! Thank You!

Try using the Nvidia control panel and select the native resolution setting and use monitors built in scaling, I think you may have to use a DVI cable to get that option though, which is the best option anyway if you have it.

Thank you for answering but i dont have in nvidia cp "Change flat panel scaling" option. I am using advanced setings!

That is because you are using a VGA connection to your monitor, you will need to use DVI and that will solve your problem.

But in XP its working, only in windows 7 i cant use 1680x1050 res. Is there any other solution? I dont have DVI and my monitor not suport DVI only VGA!

No sorry, everyone that has had this problem also has it working fine on XP and Vista but this is the only know solution for Windows 7 ATM, once you have a DVI cable you will not want to go back anyway, the picture is far superior and is what you should be using anyway unless your Graphics Card doesn't support it.

OK! If not there any other solution i will go back to XP or Vista (probably XP).
Thank You for helping me!

So DVI is not an option for you then?

I dont have DVI! But i think there is other solution coz its working on XP and Vista! I will try to find one. If someone other have other solution please replay to this thread. If i not find til tomorrow i will back to XP or Vista.

No other solution for me?
OK!
I am now runing XP
