The Custom Resolution exceeds the maximum bandwidth....

[NomNom]

I trying to go above 1366x768 to 1440x900 with my laptop display, my current specs are:
Intel Core i7 (Don't know the model) 2.0ghz - 3.0ghz
Intel HD Graphics 4400
Optimus Enabled
Nvidia GT 840 2GB VRAM
4GB
Any help is appricated! :) I'm also using intel graphics center to do this due to the fact the HD Graphics is being used by default.
Also even if i create a resolution to 1365x768 it still says it, and the refresh rate is 60 no higher, I tried 30 but no luck.

are you sure that you laptop physically has 1440x900 screen?

Don't think so, but I have changed many laptop resolutions, my display 15.6 inch screen WLED Widescreen.

Your laptop's screen has 1366x768 resolution. You canont get it higher. There are no physical pixels for that.


.. though, you could plug in an external monitor :)

the fact there's "no physical pixels" is not the issue.. many displays can "emulate" (sort of) higher resolutions.

no offence but I -personally- realy dont like "can't be done" attitude. it can be done but with upsides and downsides. downside is obviously there are no pixels so they've to squeeze a little (meaning you'll lose some) but have you ever get on metro in a really crowded city? thats my point.

I used 1080p with my 1366x768 laptop screen for a long time (before I got external monitor, or when I have to use it anyplace other than my home) just because I work with Adobe illustrator and interface is taking up too much screen-space and leaving too little work-space. So losing visual quality is not an issue (cuz I'm working vector not pixel ex.photoshop)

anyway I sometimes use 2560x1440 with my 1080p monitor if I feel in need of extra screen-space.

my laptop had only nvidia so:
Nvidia Control panel > Display > Change Resolution > Customize

Create custom resolution some res u desire with 60Hz (usually) test it and go.

and for the intel:
Graphic Properties > Display > Custom resolutions (upper left title down arrow)

Create custom resolution some res u desire with 60Hz (usually) test it and go.

and for the "maximum bandwidth" thingy.. I had no luck with that error unfortunately. Looked it up a little. Messing with registry and driver inf's was too much hassle for me. I couldnt get intel to work above 1080p

maybe u can look up a little and find a monitor test software to find out which resolutions and refresh rates yours can handle. idk

Hope that helpes someone ;) peace

Without a 1080p screen, u really can't up-scale or push it further.
Except for scaling in-game for those games that support this feature.
U can try creating a custom resolustion with AMD Crimson or NVIDIA Control Panel; but besides that, nothing u can really do with upscaling that laptop's screen. If you wanted more "out of the box" so to speak, you should have gotten a better spec'd laptop w/ 1080p screen.

With a dedicated AMD or NVIDIA GPU and a 1080p minimum screen; u could up-scale the screen to display above 1080p; like 1440p or 2160p for example. Lower than 1080p can't do this.

sorry Bad-Motha

But I upscaled 1366x768 native laptop screen to show 2560x1440. Not really usable obviously but helped me while taking google map screenshots. There can be numerous reasons to do that. if someone can't afford 1080p screen or simply cant have at that very moment its a temperory solution. it CAN BE DONE

amazing how ppl love to say somethings cant be done.

Ok so then share some useful info instead of gloating.
I guess can be done; depends on hardware specs.

I already told how I did it in the post before you.. wasnt gloating. just trying to help
