Solved Resolution problem with my nvidia gt630 card - cant raise over 1024

[atheman]

Hello,

just bougt a new gigabyte geforce gt630.
when connecting it i cant raise resolution more than 1024 x 768 which is crazy !
i thought its the card so they replaced it with a new one + i have all updated drivers installed.

the weird thing is when i connect my onboard vga i can get to 1680 x 1050 which is great
but in the nvidia i cant !

please every help will b great !

atheman; 1st it would help us here at SevenForums to know your system specs. It's OK, you're new here but it would help us help you!

I suspect you need to update you nVidia driver for the GT630. I don't know what version of Windows 7 you are running, 32-bit or 64-bit, but it does make a difference. Download 32-bit here, & 64-bit here & see if that helps. Get back with us soon!

Sounds like you need the right video card driver installed is all.

Visit Device Manager, and what is it reporting as Video?

Visit gigabyte or nvidia.com for the latest driver.

Guys i have windows 7 ultimate 64 bit.
I have the most updated driver installed from nvidia and gigabyte...
in the device manager -> device working properly..
this is really strange ! and bizzare ! onboard card gets to 1920 1050
and i cant get pass 1024 768 in that nvidia...
(someone told me i have a capicator on the motherboard that is a bit fat may b thats the problem...i dunno but the card works...)
i really dont know what to do

Check if you have an onboard solution as well if so it may be a conflict if not

listen to them uninstall the driver use a driver from a earlier period and see if that changes anything
besides that what do you have to loose ???

 

[atheman]

I did... nothing friend.
Wow i am getting crazyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy hahah

What kind of cable are you using, VGA? If so, try a DVI or HDMI cable.

 

[atheman]

i am using dvi... i tried hdmi ...vga... the whole deal...thats really weird

I'm not grasping what the "fat" capacitor on the MB has to do with your issue. If your MB had problems, you would achieve better results with a generic driver.

I believe this is purely a driver issue. I say this from my personal experience with nVidia graphic cards. The most updated nVidia driver is v320.49 but I use v296.10 because it is stable for my video editing software, whereas v320.49 has some weird conflict that crashes the software.

Windows will say "device is working properly" because the OS found a solution & installed it. But we need to know exactly what driver is installed. Please do the following. Go to your device manager for your display adapter & provide us with driver info. I've attached a jpeg of mine.

like that ? now u can see?

The first snippet says Generic Non PnP Monitor and I think that is why you have a limited range of resolutions. Check Windows Update and see if there is a generic driver for your monitor.

Get your monitors drivers

 

[kbrady1979]

Go to Control Panel > Device Manager > Monitors......You should see a list of connected monitors. You can right click on any of those and select Properties > Driver > Update Driver to see if there is a generic driver available.

 

[atheman]

Nope, thats no the problem...cause in my onboard display adapter i can get to 1920 1050...

Still need your system specs. We're all guessing you hardware setup.

Are you saying that you have built in graphics on your motherboard + GT639 video card? If that is the case the built-in graphics on MB may need to be turned off/disabled in BIOS. This may be causing a hardware conflict. I've never owned a MB with built-in graphics but perhaps someone else could commit on that. Internet search indicates some do, some don't.

If you do have built-in graphics on your MB & have your monitor connected to there, then maybe that's why it's identifying as Generic Non PnP Monitor. You'd need to move the monitor connector (DVI?) to your GT630 & see what happens.

And, follow kbrady1979's instructions in post #14 & post that info back to us.

I've seen problems like this before, where the monitor suddenly develops a problem and will show non PnP. Here is one such issue: Generic non pnp monitor

 

[atheman]

yes i will try but my onboard is not connected to any cable...thats not the issue

 

[atheman]

WOW !!! IT WORKED!!!!!!
KBRADY1979 -> THANK U SO MUCH FRIEND !!!!
