Catalyst 7.5 / 1440 x 900 issues... - Page 2

Wile E · Jun 9, 2007, 06:31 AM

Here's the solution on ATI's site.

http://support.ati.com/ics/support/d...estionID=27293

Short version = set your display to 1440x900 75Hz, not 60Hz, as stated above.

Zubasa · Jun 9, 2007, 09:09 AM

I am always on 75Hz (max on my monitor) so I guess no issues for me.

Edit: 60Hz and 70Hz also working fine.

madmanmarz · Jun 11, 2007, 10:00 AM

i'm pretty sure that i have my monitor running at 85hz and i have the problem. i will double check tonight with all those solutions. does your refresh rate reset when you install the new drivers?

Sometimes they do.

madmanmarz · Jun 12, 2007, 12:44 PM

nope. seems i can't use any widescreen resolution above 800x600. doesn't matter what the refresh rate is. back to 7.4 for me.

Easy Rhino · Jun 12, 2007, 03:45 PM

haha this happened to me too. stupid ati.

Venomelite · Jun 21, 2007, 09:26 PM

So I just got a 2900xt today, still does it =/ and now I cant even roll back to the 7.4 drivers due to the fact that the installer refuses to allow me to update them at all. Any suggestions? (cant rollback within device manager either).

Wile E · Jun 21, 2007, 09:51 PM

Uninstall the drivers, and download and run Driver Cleaner Pro, then try to reinstall.

second that

MIP_1983 · Jun 21, 2007, 11:35 PM

You can force the resolution to re-appear by adding it in with 'powerstrip'. (Google 'powerstrip custom resolutions').

Venomelite · Jun 22, 2007, 02:09 AM

Sorry I forgot to mention that I had used driver cleaner already and that had not worked at all =/. I will prob just tough it out until 7.6 is out. Soon I hope!

DuggyUK · Jun 23, 2007, 08:14 PM

upgraded from 7.4 to 7.5 without issue 1440x900 (32bit colour)

mullered07 · Jun 23, 2007, 09:41 PM

just done a clean install of vista ultimate on my new segate 320gb pr hd w00t!!

anyway i was having the problem that many ppl have reported on here when trying to set my 19" ws tft to 1440x900 and setting it to 75 hertz and 1440x900 at the same time seems to have fixed it, wasnt looking forward to installing and uninstalling drivers etc on a clean install

Venomelite · Jun 24, 2007, 12:55 AM

I actually fixed it myself, I was searching ATIs website and found these...

HD2900XT_vista_dd_ccc_enu_47097

I dont remember where I found them on their site, but once I installed them and rebooted and set my res I was able to use 1440x900. As for the refresh rate setting, my LCD TV can only go to 60hz max at 1440x900 so it wouldn't have worked for me. If someone has an interest in these drivers I can upload them (for Vista 32bit/64bit only for the ones I have).

Thats the original beta driver release for the HD2900 that supercedes 7.5. I found it to be quite a buggy driver in terms of game stability.

paul9619 · Jun 26, 2007, 12:23 PM

Anyone know if catalyst 7.6 fixes this issue?

madmanmarz · Jun 26, 2007, 04:46 PM

i will find out tonight, lol

Its ok I went for it in the end.
7.6 DOES resolve this issue. I am running 1440x900 @ 60Hz with no troubles at all

Zubasa · Jun 26, 2007, 07:13 PM

Good with happy people.

madmanmarz · Jun 27, 2007, 09:41 AM
