i have an ati hd4770, and it has 120hz for all possible res, also there is a thing on the monitor menu to do that 800*600 stuff that you want, btw, play fullscreen at 1680*1050 120hz it is way better. This thread requires nvc!

but you want to play @ 800*600 with black stripes on the sides, or fullscreen, with stretched image? it it is the last case, the in game size of the geomery, like doors etc, it wont "zoom" is always the same, but the image quality is just worst. nvc did an image explaining that, quite ago.

800*600 with black stripes on the sides

as i said, "i want to stretch my 800x600 ql resolution to fill the screen while maintaining aspect ratio (4:3)"

this is weird, i wanted to have it streched, but it would be always with black stripes automaticly, so i started using native res. lol

when i enable gpu scaling in drivers i can't get 120hz to work either, what kind of scaling are you trying to use here?

hm :/ can't help you then, i got a nvidia gtx and the benq 120hz monitor which let's you do 800x600 through the osd.

did you try playing in the native resolution, ql supports this (now)?

it's supported, yes. i might try, but i wouldn't be to happy, as the crosshair is kinda bad on high res

I had the same problem prior. I've got the new catalyst version (interface thingy) BUT:
start -> desktops and displays -> My Digital Flat-Panels -> Properties (Digital Flat-Panel)
here there's a little box called image scaling, and you have to tick the option 'scale the image to full panel size'. I can't remember how to get hold of this in the old catalyst interface thingy but just google 'scale the image to full panel size catalyst' or whathaveye and i'm sure you'll find it! :)
SHOULD work fine even on a dvi port but dont hold me to it!

uhm.. my ccc looks like this:

not exactly the same as yours i guess, but i got the most recent driver.
i googled, but nothing really worked..
might need to get used to playing on native res

Check the "Enable GPU Scaling" box so that "Scale image to full panel size" becomes active?

it's a bit different yeah :)
as the guy above said, just need to tick the box and should be all good! :D (make sure image size in size & position is set to auto on the osd after you've done this too!)

Add a custom resolution using ATI CCC.

For anyone interested, these are the nVidia instructions [When I was using a 2233, I added 960x600@120Hz (16:10 equivalent of 800x600) as the custom desktop, but in the advanced settings make "actual resolution" (or words to that effect) 1680x1050.

This way, basically, your video card emulates 960x600 by scaling the 960x600 image to a 1680x1050 signal, thus you get no "Improper Resolution" message from your monitor.]

Instructions for ATI below!

960x600 looks and feels exactly like 800x600 but without the black bars at the side, meaning you don't have to change fovs or anything, but you do get slightly worse fisheye than usual at the very edges of the screen.

Oh, then of course you must use the following settings in Quake:

r_customheight 600
r_customwidth 960
r_mode -1

Might need a reboot in there along the way, but that will ensure full screen Quake that you're used to :)

And also, I forgot how much of a pain in the ass it is to add custom resolutions to ATI CCC, but here is a really easy walk through to get you sorted out:

What do you need to enable scaling for? Did that not work to give you 960x600 @ 120hz?

set your windows res to 800x600, now you should be able to set maintain aspect ratio in your CCC ... ok , so you have the black bars on the sides now, start QL (dont change your windows res yet) and set your ingame res to 800x600, should have black bars aswell ... save your ql settings, close it , set your windows res to 1680x1050 again .. worked for me .. you'll have to set your refresh rate to 120 again

Does any one know if you scale in other resolutions that it increases input lag ?
