You can also get access to 1920x1440 with VGA whereas DVI single link can not handle it. So far I haven't found a solution to force the new nVIDIA drivers to ignore EDID (and I have tried everything, including multiple versions of Powerstrip, creating custom drivers, forcing different monitor drivers, etc).Ĭould you tell me what easy way you have found that has so far eluded me? 😁Īre you using DVI or VGA? I would suggest to just use VGA and bypass all the DVI dual link nightmares with single link cards. The second mode lists 1920 x 1080 as the maximum resolution, and for some reason the new nVIDIA drivers seem to pick up on this second mode and stick with it, while drivers such as 3x.xx or older see the correct 2560 x 1440 max resolution that is exposed in the 1st EDID mode. My monitor in particular (an AOC 1440p 75 Hz display) exposes two EDID modes (not sure why). I actually have a similar issue with nVIDIA cards and my monitor whenever I install Detonator 4x.xx or newer drivers in Windows 98.

My hope is that OSSC Pro, when it comes out, will give us the best of all worlds and eliminate any reliance on VGA monitor inputs, monitor aspect ratio controls, any EDID issues and scaling compromises. I personally have not yet moved above 1600x1200 on retro hardware and I don't know if I will any time soon. That said, VGA EDID emulators do exist as well, but a registry entry is both simpler and cheaper.

Sorry I did not notice your initial post was about VGA, not DVI. VGA supports higher resolutions than single link DVI (1920x1440 is nice!) VGA is usually preferable to me unless I am using a dual link DVI card that can actually run 2560x1440. Win9x was tricky until this registry tweak for ATI. NVidia and ATI usually let you override EDID and it will never come up blank. I don't really need an emulator for that. I do have a DVI EDID emulator because I use this 1440p monitor and that is often dead in the water with old cards. Darry is that DVI? I think I remember your thread.
