    Hi all.

    does anyone know a way to "unlock" the missing resolutions that takes place in some driver versions? with zeptos drivers i can only pick 800x600, 1024x768, 1280x800 and 1400x900 which means the around 8 steps inbetween these are missing and id really like to have them back....

    any ideas? zepto ?

    Thanks

    this isnt a problem with zepto.

    its just in the .inf file they included only those resolutions instead of every one in between

    to change this and still use zepto drivers, open up an inf of the latest vista x64 driver on lv2go. have a look at the line which states all the resolutions (two of them i think) and copy it over the zeptos inf and then install

    Actually.. after 20min of test (cant say anything difinitive yet) it seems that the stuttering is 0 with 156.16 Zepto for vista x64 in wow.

    I will do more testing later on.

    but I miss alot of resolutions...

    zepto official drivers work better, just dont like them as they dont have performance gains the newer drivers have and games like bioshock wont run on them

    It's not as easy at it seems. Both because that zeptos inf is a custom one not like the standard nvidia inf, and it doesnt seem to be enough just to insert the missing resolutions in the inf file next to the rest. :/
