ATI All In Wonder 9800 and 1080p not supported?
 

I'm having problems using my capture card, with XP, with my lcd. The lcd has a native 1080p resolution. The ati supposedly supports it - 1920x1080 - but when I set this resolution the monitor goes into "not supported" mode. With a different PC it supports 1920x1080 just fine. Anyone had any similar problems with a 9800 board?

Thanks!

I've run into this, and it's really annoying.

The ATI AIW 9800 is fine with a 1920x1080 LCD. I use 1080p monitors for all video work.

The problem here can be:
- display drivers (most common)
- Catalyst/capture drivers
- ATI MMC version
- BIOS battery weak/dead
- DVI or VGA cable (less common)
- power supply (least common)

I've been building some ATI capture systems in Sept-Nov, and I've seen this several times on my non-1080p test monitor. So 1080p isn't the issue.

Could you let me know what are the best driver versions and mmc version for this board? I'm using this:

ATI All-In-Wonder Setup (180-V01084-100).part1-13.rar

Is there a better choice for this board? I've also tried current display drivers but then capture no longer works and 1080p is still not supported - it goes into a weird scrolling mode, where not all the screen is visible at once...

I'd prefer trying software before proceding to the hardware.

Bios battery is a really, really, really, really weird cause! I'm not doubting you, I'm just struggling to figure out how it could possible come into play...

Thanks again,
Luis

ATI MMC 8.8 seems to work best on 9600-9600 cards.

Same here on the BIOS battery. No idea how that came not play, but it did. At most, I'm guessing it wiped out some AGP settings that the card needed for that specific motherboard. The clock didn't work, SATA drives would not boot, and the video card went wacky. New battery, problem solved.

I'll have to check on the drivers. But, in general, the "6168" drivers are best. See those in the ATI driver thread.
