6600GT

The place to ask for technical help with running the demo or the full game...

6600GT

I've just installed a new 6600GT card, and like everyone else I've had the "Unreconized Card" message. I've added the appropriate line in the flconfigdatabase.txt file so it reconises it Ok, but now I can't select any resolution other than 800x600 or 1024x768, adding the info manually into the perfoptions.ini just causes the game to default back to 800x600 when I start it.

My old GF3 was able to run in 1280x960 although slightly slowly, so this new card should do it easily.

Ok! Worked it out for myself!
Since changing to the 6600GT I've been using the DVI input rather than the VGA D-sub. Since then, I've 'lost' loads of my desktop resolutions as well, seems DVI stops the graphics card using any resolutions that the monitor cannot display natively. To fix the fault, all I did was add a custom resolution using the setup option on the Nvidia driver settings, following this info:

Hope this helps anyone with the same probles I had.
