1600x1200 screen size
| Submitted by sjr on Mon, 2007-07-30 01:11 | ||
Having put together my latest computer build I have now gotten around to installing DS, in specific the Abstraction setup. But as I was choosing my settings I noticed that the 1600x1200 option was available to pick. So I picked and sure enough the size works fine, in fact in most places I was running around I was getting well over 200fps. Long ago I had added the 1280x1024 and 1600x1200 sizes to the system_detail.gas file. Though it had never worked before I was lazy and never took it back out as it did not hurt anything. Well now I am using a 8800 Ultra video card and apparently this card lets this size setup work. I am guessing that it may work for the gtx and gts models of the 8800 as well, maybe even some 8600 cards. I may try some other sizes in there as well, as I would prefer to be able to get wide screen views to work (I really am most intrested in 1680x1050). I realize this image is likely to break the page but this is what I was able to do a screenie of: Well it looks like this site limits the image size so I have added the link to the screenie in the screenie so if you click it you will go to the actual image.

More always = better.
wow, sjr - that looks amazing..!! :woot:
really bright and clear - good to know I'll still
be able to get decent results when I make that leap to a new system
(- still a few months of hard saving to do yet though..)

..never mind the weather, just as long as we're together!
I tried 1600 x 1200 as well, but I found that the text became too small to read,
especially in the inventory labels. I started poking around to find if there were
settings to increase the sizes of inventory and stuff, and there are a few for things
like multiple inventories layout (when you open all party members at once) but I
didn't find anything to stretch the individual panels.

Back at the beginning of April I got a 22" widescreen lcd monitor so I would really prefer to run the game at the ws ratio but from all the testing I have done there is really only one way to do that. If you run the game in window mode then click the maximize button you will then run at a ws ratio. Running at 1280x1024 on a ws monitor creates a very squished flat look.
Since I have gotten the 22" monitor I have been thinking of getting a bigger screen yet so I am interested in getting a higher resolution. I am thinking 1920x1440 may work but I have not tested this yet.
I am fairly sure that the higher resolutions for DS are limited by the video card as with identical wording (using the exact same dsres file and gas files) 1600x1200 did not work on any previous video card setup I had. I was running a 512mb 1950pro and it only listed up to the 1280x1024. But puting in a 768mb 8800ultra it was listed.
