Hey Guys-
Big fan of this group and glad it exists. Got an issue I have not seen nor heard of before. I recently picked up a 570 GTX 1280 MB and I have it connected with TH2G to my three monitors. Before I got the 570, I used to run (2) 8800 GT's in SLI mode with TH2G as well. Not one issue occurred with that set-up. Since I upgraded to the 570, I now have resolution issues under NBA 2K11.

Previously, I played around with different res. on NBA 2K11 (since I did not like 3840x1024 and the Vert- issue) and ultimately decided that I would be happy with a resolution of 1600x1024 or 1600x1200 on my old 8800's. (keep in mind SLI mode). The game res. covered the center screen in full and slightly went into the right and left screens. Under this 570 GPU, I have tried every res. available in the game set up as well as manually altering the cfg. file, but the only two options that work are - 1280x1024 and 3840x1024. I would like to get back to my 1600x1024 or 1600x1200 res., it just seems to be the best for me. Each time I tried the different res., I get kicked out to the desktop each time I accept the changes . :cry: It took me a while to figure out how to place the game on the center screen when in the 1280x1024 res. so I though there may have been another "way" that I am not aware of to get the 1600x1024 or 1600x1200 . The older drivers worked fine for me and I was able to play 2K11 without any issue on the old 8800's, but for some reason, I am having this issue with the 570.

I have already contacted Matrox and they told me it was a graphics issue...I then called EVGA and they said it was a Matrox issue, you know where I am going with this, :doh . Soooo, maybe someone has an idea. I have the latest drivers and firmware updates for both the GPU and the GXM. I performed a driver downgrade on the GXM and still the issue is there. Matrox thought if I downgraded the GPU to a driver that worked before, I should try that. I'll give it a shot, but am not confident it will work. BTW, this is the only game I have had an issue with so far.

My System:
ASUS M3N-HT Deluxe
Phenom II 965 stock speed (for now)
4 Gig Corsair Dominator with the fans
Ultra 1000w PSU
500 GB Hitachi HD
EVGA 570 GTX

PS:
I have one minor issue with 3DMARK 11 and this new card. It will not report my score. It just shows"-----". I get a score when I direct connect my monitor to the 570 GPU, but not the TH2G box...I do not know if this is a related issue, but thought it should be mentioned.

Thanks in advance - Q
