    Just got one from the states today installed, drivers installed & CCC installed.

    Now when I try to change my resolution above 1280 x 1024 it won't allow.

    Since this is dual dvi I tried both ports & still the same.

    I'm clueless as to how to change my resolution to something higher
    than my 1280 x 1024.

    HELLPPPPPPPPPPPPPP

    Thanks

    I see you used to have a nVidia card. Did you completely uninstall those drivers with Driversweeper/Cleaner? Also what's the maximum resolution your monitor allows?

    Yes I did use driver sweeper to clean previous install of nvidia & max resolution is 1280 x 1024 as stated in post :(

    I figure if I get one of the better agp cards made today I can save upgrading my whole pc but all the techy stuff that goes along with this GPU has my head spinning lol....

    Ok one other question... I forgot to ask..

    Powering this beast of a card my 8 pin molex is too short (like my attention span) so I had to use the adapter but do I use both or just one for this card to work ok? the 2 4pin old style is what I'm referring to.

    Thanks
