Intel 810e - Can it do 1440 x 900?
Hi,
I was wondering if the integrated gfx on an intel 810e can do 1440x900 res? Else I guess it will have to be a PCI gfx card! Cheers squelch41 |

I've used 810e up to 1024x768x32 but not much above because my monitor couldn't. Not sure your monitor could handle that res. even if lowered colors to 16bit or 8bit. 1600x1200x8 may work. |

Intel 810e - Can it do 1440 x 900?
I am planning on getting a new flat panel and that is its native res
(16:9) - hence the odd res! Cheers |

Intel 810e - Can it do 1440 x 900?
Are there any hacked drivers (equivilents, say of the Omega drivers for
Nvidia and ATI) for the 810e? Cheers squelch41 |

Cheers squelch41 If you look in the back of this document, you'll see that, like many GPUs, the output format is infinitely programmable. For example, PDF page 504 shows how to program the CR's to get 1280x1024 @ 85Hz. http://www.intel.com/design/chipsets...s/29802601.pdf Matrox has a tweaker program for fiddling this stuff. VESA.org has a spreadsheet called GTF_V1R1.xls for handling arbitrary resolutions. The problem is not the technology, it is the user interface. I think I read a description the other day, of setting this up on an Nvidia or ATI card, and all you needed to know, was the desired resolution. The software worked out the values needed for the registers. If Intel has a tech support, perhaps you can contact them by phone or email, and see if the control panel for the 810 has some option for custom resolution. Tell them what you are trying to do, and see if they are willing to go "off-road". The thing is, it is easy to say "we are VESA compliant", and ignore requests for custom resolutions (less support work to do), but the thing is, companies that design Intel chipsets into their products, probably can get a program from Intel for setting this stuff up. If it was any other company, this task would be easier. I'm guessing Intel won't indulge in pleasing customers like the competition would. So even though your hardware is technically capable of doing it, it may not be possible to figure out the recipe. Paul |

ups.com... Hi, I was wondering if the integrated gfx on an intel 810e can do 1440x900 res? Else I guess it will have to be a PCI gfx card! Cheers squelch41 If the drivers are programmed to offer a resolution and there is enough memory on board the graphics card, then you can do any resolution you want. Check the help system for the drivers on your particular card. There is a simple formula number of pixels across x number of pixels down x pixel depth = RAM required. So 1440x900 = about 1.3Mpixels so at 16bit pixel depth (2 bytes per pixel), you would need 2.6MB RAM on the graphics card. At 32bit pixel depth, you would need over 5MB onboard RAM, so if you have this much RAM (graphics card RAM, not system RAM), then there should be no problem. I would expect the least you might have is 16MB. |

Intel 810e - Can it do 1440 x 900?
Nothing odd about that res at all. It's a widescreen resolution.
All of the 19" widescreens I've purchased come with drivers that help windows out if those resolutions aren't already supported. I've only had to use them once. "jaster" wrote in message m...
