How do I find my PC's Native Resolution?

I got a new graphic card and I can't find my screen resolution now...?

• Hi all, I just got a new graphic card called Nvidia Quadro 6000, and I also have a Flatron E2441 Now the screen resolution is 1920x1080, and with my previous graphic card I managed to use that resolution, but with the new one if I go beyond 1280x1024 it says D-SUB OUT OF RANGE, not to mensionI don't have a resolution big enough at all for my screen. Any what I can get it fixed? Thanks

• Answer:

  Every LCD monitor has a "native" resolution. This is the maximum resolution and refresh rate the monitor can handle. Even if the graphics card can output a higher resolution and refresh rate, it can't display anything over the native resolution of the monitor your using. Most monitors can auto adjust when a graphics card puts out a new resolution, but some older ones did not, or that ability could be disabled through the monitors menu. So you may also want to check to see if your monitor is set to auto adjust. The Nvidia control panel does have some utilities do dynamically adjust your desktop size so that it will "fit". There is a section called Adjust Desktop Size and position. In there you should be able to find a wizard to walk you though a few steps to make sure your monitor resolution and refresh rates are set up to the best they can do.
