Widescreen Gaming: How To Set Up Your Video Card

jmke · 14th February 2006, 01:40

The first thing you should do before attempting to play a game in widescreen is visit our database. Is the game listed there? Even though widescreen resolutions aren't often supported officially, there are many ways to get a game to run in your native widescreen resolution. Sometimes this requires a registry edit; sometimes you need to change the command line a bit. In some cases, games will work perfectly, and even open up some of the view for you (widescreen monitors feature about 20% more width than standard screens of a respective size).
