Thread: Performance Boost with NVidia Cards

Ok, so sometimes when I restart my computer my resolution reverts from native to some huge ass setting. Any suggestions.

Huge as in 800x600 (makes everything look huge) or Huge as in 2450x1340 (or something that makes the icons and junk really tiny)

You could try opening the NVidia control panel, and on the left, under display, going to change resolution. Set it to the one you want there.

Some googling led me to a registry fix solution.
All of the values are in hexidecimal though, so I'll post a short list
1440 - 5A0
1280 - 500
1152 - 480
1024 - 400
960 - 3C0
864 - 360
800 - 320
768 - 300
720 - 2D0
600 - 258
Basically, change all of your resolutions to what you need:

Code:

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\ControlSet001\Services\nv\Device0]
"DefaultSettings.XResolution"=-
"DefaultSettings.YResolution"=-
"DefaultSettings.BitsPerPel"=-

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\ControlSet001\Services\nv\Device1]
"DefaultSettings.XResolution"=-
"DefaultSettings.YResolution"=-
"DefaultSettings.BitsPerPel"=-

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\ControlSet001\Services\nv\Device2]
"DefaultSettings.XResolution"=-
"DefaultSettings.YResolution"=-
"DefaultSettings.BitsPerPel"=-

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\ControlSet001\Services\nv\Device3]
"DefaultSettings.XResolution"=-
"DefaultSettings.YResolution"=-
"DefaultSettings.BitsPerPel"=-

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\ControlSet002\Services\nv\Device0]
"DefaultSettings.XResolution"=-
"DefaultSettings.YResolution"=-
"DefaultSettings.BitsPerPel"=-

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\ControlSet002\Services\nv\Device1]
"DefaultSettings.XResolution"=-
"DefaultSettings.YResolution"=-
"DefaultSettings.BitsPerPel"=-

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\ControlSet002\Services\nv\Device2]
"DefaultSettings.XResolution"=-
"DefaultSettings.YResolution"=-
"DefaultSettings.BitsPerPel"=-

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\ControlSet002\Services\nv\Device3]
"DefaultSettings.XResolution"=-
"DefaultSettings.YResolution"=-
"DefaultSettings.BitsPerPel"=-

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Class\{4D36E968-E325-11CE-BFC1-08002BE10318}\0000\Settings]
"DefaultSettings.XResolution"=-
"DefaultSettings.YResolution"=-
"DefaultSettings.BitsPerPel"=-


[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\nv\Device0]
"DefaultSettings.XResolution"=-
"DefaultSettings.YResolution"=-
"DefaultSettings.BitsPerPel"=-

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\nv\Device1]
"DefaultSettings.XResolution"=-
"DefaultSettings.YResolution"=-
"DefaultSettings.BitsPerPel"=-

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\nv\Device2]
"DefaultSettings.XResolution"=-
"DefaultSettings.YResolution"=-
"DefaultSettings.BitsPerPel"=-


[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\nv\Device3]
"DefaultSettings.XResolution"=-
"DefaultSettings.YResolution"=-
"DefaultSettings.BitsPerPel"=-

An easier way would be to:

1) Go to Start --> Run --> regedit and press enter

2) Click 'Edit' and click 'Find' in the Edit menu

3) Type ' DefaultSettings.XResolution ' (without quotes) and click 'Find'

4) Now double click it and change it to the hexadecimal value that corresponds to the X resolution you want.

5) Click 'Find Next' and repeat Step 4)

6) Now do the same for ' DefaultSettings.YResolution ' (without quotes) and change it to the hexadecimal value that corresponds to the Y resolution you want.

And, in addition to what I said above, you need to install/update your monitors drivers.
Sometimes windows update will catch it, some times it won't.
