Can you run different resolutions and freq. in Clone mode using a Nvidia GT6600 card?

No, I didn't yet, but I would like to. I keep searching and let you know if I find something

I also have a 6600gt with dual DVI. The only thing I managed is to have my pana 700 in 1024x768 and my LCD monitor in 1280x1024 ( but the desktop is smaller than the screen, I guess 1024x768 also, with blue bands around )in dual view mode.

By the way, did you manage to send 1280x720 to your sanyo via DVI ? if yes could you tell me how, I can't do this with my pana.

Yes, I am send 720P to my Z2 and I'm sure you can as well but boy it was hidden. First let me tell you don't just create a resolution for 1280X720P. That would seem like the right thing but it's not. Here's the bad part. I don't really remember the sequence I used to get to the menu that said something like "Detect my monitor as a TV". Once I told the Geforce GT6600 it was a TV I had detected 720P and all the other resolutions just appeared. Perhaps someone more familair can point you to the thread.

How long does it take for your Z2 to be recognized? It seems like that I had to reboot my machine like 6 times before my 6800 recognized the projector.

I didn't need any reboots using the Nvidia software. There is a setting somewhere (I'm at work now) that say to detect that monitor as a TV. Then with the selections that show up you can choose it directly and it works right away.


Because it was hard to get right the first time is why I was asking if in Clone mode I could still run the monitors at different resolutions and frequencies. It was so hard to find I was afraid if I hosed it up I'd spend hours again looking for the settings again.


I use this remote screen for some work. But it's like I'd like to set it up so I can have everything on both screen, but if during a movie I want to work on a background program in window I want to be able to do it without shutting down the movie on the screen.

By definition, if you are cloning you cannot be at a different resolution, so you'd have to run both devices at some common denominator. You could, however, run each device at a different refresh rate - the refresh rate has nothing to do with content.

If that's so it won't work as my LCD is not capable of 720 (or anything close) and I should just try to duplicate the application and whatever I can on both screens. To bad as I like to have the start bar on both screens as sometimes I'm on the web from the PJ and sometimes locally.

You should try it anyway, at the native resolution of your Z2. Your LCD's internal scaler might handle it, or the graphics card might virtualize it. (I assume your LCD is 1024x768 native.)

you might want to investigate the word "mirror" as opposed to "clone".... I have a USB/VGA device with a "mirror" driver and I can mirror a 1600x1200 desktop to a scaled 1024x768 screen..... Ultramon advertises display mirroring, maybe it also can scale the mirror....
