Re: Quadro FX3400 - 1680x1050 Resolution

The Quadros and wide screen resolutions are both not supported by BF2. The Shortcut fix is the only way to get it to work.

Looks like the shortcut doesn't work. I just tried it and my computer just flashes a black screen once, and nothing happens. Well damn

Try editing the video.com file and altering the refresh rate.

Merged threads. (why did you make 2?)

Wow, so I can't even run BF2 on this PC being as no matter what I do, nothing will work being as a Quadro is not supported?

I'm not sure about that. I know it's not supported, but that doesn't mean it won't work. Maybe someone with a Quadro could chime in here.

If you can't get it to run at a supproted resolution then you may be out of luck. Go to your video.con in

C:\Documents and Settings\Your Name\My Documents\Battlefield 2\Profiles

Open the profile folder with your name in the profile.con. Mine is in 0001. Open the Video.con and make sure the resolution is something like

VideoSettings.setResolution 1280x1024@60Hz

Try to run BF2 like that first.

ok. I'm still defragging, and then after the defrag i'm going to run all my spyware utilites, just to ensure my computer is clean as can be.... then i'll go in and check those settings. Is that the max resoultion that BF2 can run at ?

You may be able to run 1600 x 1200, but my monitor doesn't support that.

Re: Quadro FX 3400 - Please Help !

I doubt that the Quadro will be able to run at high resolutions like that. A agp 68GT outperforms the card in all games(granted by a small margin) so it's not gonna run BF2 at 1600 X 1200 and be playable.

Re: Quadro FX 3400 - Please Help !

Ok, quick update.

I just finished all my defrag, and cleaning up my computer of old programs, and running spyware apps....

I set the video.con file to the proper resolution, and when I get into a game - my computer is running so slow I can't move my guy. I don't get what the problem is. Keep in mind, when I did this to where my guy wouldn't move - my resolution was set at 1280x1024

Here is what my system is by the way:

Windows XP Pro
Dual Xeon 3.2GHZ
4GB DDR2 SDRAM
Dual 250GB 7,200 RPM HD's
Quadro FX 3400 Graphics Card
Dual Dell 20in 2007FP Monitors

Re: Quadro FX 3400 - Please Help !

ok, first off forget 1280 X 1024, your card just can't handle that.

Second the card specs, what does the GPU and MEM run(speed wise) I could only find that the GPU was 400?? don't know and the mem is 400Mhz can you confirm these speeds.

Re: Quadro FX 3400 - Please Help !

My card can handle 1280 x 1024, because I run 3360 x 1050 across two monitors normally, and 1680 x 1050 on one. My card is 256mb, 256bit memory interface, 27.2GB/memory bandwidth, PCI Express x16 Card.

all the specs can be found here:

http://www.nvidia.com/object/IO_11761.html

Look at the FX 3450.... my card has the same specs as that model.

Re: Quadro FX 3400 - Please Help !

Yes but battlefield will not run at that res, If you right click on your desktop and go to properties- then advanced and in there(can't remember off the top of my head) you will get the gpu clock(3d clock) and the memmory clocks

what are they?

Re: Quadro FX 3400 - Please Help !

It's not showing it anywhere. I went through all the advanced settings and even nvidia's menus. The only thing that's close is the SLO multi-GPU area, and that just says "Your graphics card features NVIDA Scalable Link Interface (SLI) Technology.
