I found it.. well, searched for it. Had to do a little tweaking on my display settings so the widescreen resolution would appear.

But it's there now :3

Found the help here (http://boards2.sega.com/psu_board/viewtopic.php?t=56776) through searching :3


Perhaps it should be added to the 'Helpful PSU Guides' sticky ;3

I toiled around in my ATI Control Panel but has not been able to get the 1280x780(?) setting to show up in the PSU options. Anyone got any suggestions?

My Nvidia Control Panel doesn't have the capability of manually changing resolution settings...just stupid slider bars, even in advanced. I have an 8800 GT, maybe I just need to see if there's an update for the control panel?

I have an 8800 GT as well and was able to get the manual resolution settings with the drivers that came with. I'll retrace my steps and give you some instructions when I get off work.

8800 GT? The new one that just came out like 3 weeks ago?

Yeah, that one. Anyways, my home net was taken down for a VoIP upgrade so I wasn't able to post from there. This is from work and my memory.

In the Contol Panel accessed by right-clicking your screen and selecting properties there should be a button labeled 'Advanced' in one of the tabs that actually brings up a separate, more detailed control panel, with a side-bar for browsing the options like you would explore a folder. In one of either the third or second sets of options there should be options that resemble those referenced in Starzz instructions on the official forums.

Nifty. I was planning on running two of those cards on my new rig I'm getting soon. It works well with PSU, I take it? As in, I can set the setting up to the max and not really have any issues?
