GeForce 8800 GTX resolution problems during some games?! - 2008/01/16 12:52
Hi, I don't know if this is the right forums for this question but here goes... With my rig and the latest NVIDIA drivers and game patch I figured I could safely max all settings including full 1900x1200 resolution on my 24" monitor with high powered games. Not possible. Not under Crysis and not even under Oblivion. After about 5 minutes on Oblivion the game locks up and only a reboot unfreezes it. If I dumb down the resolution to 1280x1024, no problems.
In fact some advanced game effects are either grayed out under full resolution or, as with Oblivion, when I set the video quality preset to high with full 1900x1200 resolution it automatically resets it to 1280x1024. I have RivaTuner low level fan control set so that the fan kicks in if the core temp exceeds 74°C. I've not heard it go on yet so I'm assuming we can rule out the power supply. I haven't done any overclocking yet. I'd really appreciate any suggestions.
System Specifications...
- ASUS P5E Deluxe Mainboard
- Intel Core 2 Quad Q6600 2.40GHz Processor
- Corsair TWINX 2GB DDR3 1333MHz Memory
- NVIDIA GeForce 8800 GTX Graphics Card
- Corsair 620W Power Supply
- Windows XP Professional SP2
