Gigabyte HD6970 2GB HELP!

[jasonjuwono]

Hi all, ive been having major problem with this card. I have no idea if the problem is occurring from my monitor, motherboard or graphics card. Basically my monitor is telling me that i cannot set my resolution to 1920 x 1080 with a display option saying that its "Generic Non PnP Monitor". I would love to run this card on its native 1920 x 1080 resolution. I have installed the latest driver as well.

I have connected the GPU with a DVI to VGA converter to the screen, meaning iam using a VGA cable not a DVI cable.

Here is my build.

Motherboard - Intel DP55WG
Processor - Intel Core i5 650 @3.20GHZ
GPU - Gigabyte HD6970 2GB
Monitor - AOC 2436Vwh

Thank you so much, and please do help me out since ive been stuck on this problem for about some time now..:/

being it says "generic non pnp monitor" did you install the monitor driver?

AOC Monitor the Worldwide Leader in Display Manufacturing

Just installed the Monitor driver and its still the same. All it changed was from Generic Non PnP Monitor to Display Device on:VGA and still hasn't given me the native resolution of 1920 x 1080.

you could always try ditching the vga cable. although, i can't see why that would make a difference.

do you have an hdmi cable to try?

[jasonjuwono]

Yes, i was thinking of ditching the vga cables and moving to the dvi. But thinking it again, what would make it different. Yes, i do have an hdmi cable, but wouldn't show up anything on the monitor when plugged in. :/

thats cuz you need to change the input on the monitor menu.

[jasonjuwono]

How am i suppose to change the setting to HDMI when nothing is showing up on the monitor.

[hossdaddy]

you change the settings on the buttons on the monitor itself. When the monitor is powered it will allow you to do that. There should be an input button or try navigating the menu.

Also isn't VGA capped at around 720p and cant actually do 1080?
