I use an HDTV for my monitor, via a VGA/D-Sub cable. My old ATI drivers failed to detect the native resolution, so I set it manually. LFS saw this, and was able to display in 1080p properly. Now, I got a new GTX 560 Ti for my birthday, and I once again had to manually set the resolution for the desktop. The difference, though, is that now LFS only allows up to 1360x1080, even when I manually edit the cfg.txt file. I have the same problem with a few other games, too (though not with others). Any help?

EDIT:
Newest driver update solved problem

--Note: I did NOT use the drivers on the disk, but downloaded the newest from nvidia on the day of install. A week later, they released a new update, and I didn't notice. Th update solved the issue 100%.

As far as nVIDIA vs. AMD/ATI, I have no preference. I go with the best I can afford. They are both about the same, one is usually a little better, but they switch off. It is usually nVIDIA with the best performance, imo, but AMD has those deals, man. I am training for my CompTIA A+. also, the CPU and both GFX cards in my buddy's comp were once mine. I have owned both, and honestly don't see a difference, other than that the newer cards are more powerful than the older cards, but that is a given lol.

oh, teh lulz...
