Radeon 9700 960x540 (1 Viewer)

[Jack Shappa]

I'm thinking of upgrading my GeForce3 to a Radeon 9700 All-in-wonder Pro. The projector I'm ordering (l300u) is native 960x540. I'd like my HTPC to feed it that rez, and my GeForce3 will not do it (not even with Powerstrip). On ATI's site it lists the Radeon 9700 resolutions, but 960x540 is not included. But that doesn't necessarily mean it can't do it...

Anybody run their 9700 at 960x540?

Thanks! - JS

I've run my Sapphire 9000 at that resolution, and if the 9000 can do it, the 9700 can surely do it.

I wouldnt assume this. You should be able to get the video cards range of resolutions off of the ATI web site. Either that or hopefully someone will chime in here who owns one and can verify that fact for sure.

Well then, buy a Sapphire 9000 and save $200

Problem is, ATI's website does not list that resolution as one for the 9700, but I've had other video cards that do resolutions that aren't "officially" listed. For instance my GeForce3 does some thanks to Powerstrip that aren't "official" but work nonetheless.

Turns out I needed to update my monitor's drivers so my video card would realize it can handle 960x540. Now I have my GeForce3 putting out that rez perfectly and my forthcoming l300u will get fed in its native rez (no scaling! Woohoo!)
