Doing due diligence in prep for buying a monster i7 system. Went to the Matrox site to get some technical data, and saw something after using the "GXM SYSTEM COMPATIBILITY WIZARD". Note that my choices were: DTH2Go, Vista, Desktop, Nvidia, GeForce and then finally GTX 280, since I plan on running a couple of GTX 295's in SLI. Also note that I plan on using Vista 64 with 12 gigs of RAM and 3 22in monitors at 1680x1050. Then I noticed this disclaimer:

"5040x1050 (3x 1680x1050) resolution is only available under Windows XP with Nvidia 200 series GPUs. Under Windows Vista the maximum supported resolution is 4320x900 (3x 1440x900)." :shock: :cry: :x

This still true? Seems backward. All that new graphical horsepower going to waste. Driver issue?

Anyone using a Nvidia GTX 200 series GPU with Vista 64 bit and a DTH2Go at 3x1680x1050?

Thanks for any and all responses...

It appears to be a driver issue, as a beta PD-SE has fixed it

Thanks much Ibrin. Apologies if this was discussed elsewhere in here. I gave the threads a cursory glance and came up empty. Much appreciated...

Though I have a 280GTX, Vista 64 @ 5040x1050 not using GMX I installed resolutions manually, then installled the non Beta GMX for Bezel Management.
