I think you have an option enabled to override refresh rates and resolutions. That can screw stuff up. Ill see how to disable it.

Install your monitor drivers as well as its color profile average_guy.

Razor Blade those setting are for D3D apps only

. Actually it works perfectly for D3D apps.

**Razor Blade** · July 18th, 2003, 00:13

well it still makes more resolutions appear and so on. Even for desktop and non 3d appz.

from the nvidia's 44.03 display properties user's guide:

• 2x enables antialiasing using the 2x mode. This mode offers improved image
quality and high performance in 3D applications.

• Quincunx enables a patented antialiasing technique available in the GeForce
GPU family. Quincunx antialiasing offers the quality of the slower, 4x
antialiasing mode, but at nearly the performance of the faster, 2x mode.
