Are graphics drivers installed?

Posted

Hey guys,

I am going to buy a Viewsonic vx2233wm monitor. The monitor allows up to 1920x1080 resolution , but when i tried to test the monitor it gives me trouble going above 1680x1050 which is shown as the highest option available.

Any advice?

shall i buy it ?

My Pc: Cpu: I7 4790k @ 4,8 Ghz @1,25 volts, Motherboard: Maximus VII Formula, Graphicscard: 2x Titan X @1,4 at stock voltage (soon to be replaced), Ram: 32 gb Corsair Dominator Platinum 2133 Cl 9, SSD: 2x 850 Pro 1 Tb in Raid 0, 2x Samsung 840 Evo 1 tb raid 1,, PSU: Corsair HXi Series 1000W 80+ Platinum, Case: H440. Soon to be watercooled again, maybe, probably, the Titans are too loud.

You can't get the full resolution because you don't have graphics drivers installed.

But the main monitor tells me recommended settings is 720p

doesn't mean anything ? ?

Recommended is usually just the max resolution or native resolution it can be set to. When you plug the monitor in, does it look HD and normal or is everything a little blurry.
