Today I bought a DVI cable to replace the VGA cable that came with the monitor. It was hooked up to an 8800 gts using the latest nvidia drivers.
I fired up Supreme Commander and changed the resolution to 1440 x 900 which is the native resolution for a 19" wide screen monitor. After changing I quit the game only to see the text and image become garbled and blurred. Since I was using DVI, I could not autoadjust like I normally would if I were using VGA.
the first thing I tried was reinstalling the video drivers, it didn't help at all. I pressed the menu button on my monitor and checked the information tab. It said that I was running it at 1280 x 1024. Strange because in the display properties in Windows said I was running at 1440 x 900.
The only solution that I have found is to change back to the VGA cable. I verified the DVI cable on another monitor to make sure that nothing was wrong with it. Furthermore, the monitor and the display was fine earlier that today when I was playing FEAR.
I'm not sure what the problem here is... but I think it is related to the nVidia drivers.
