I recently purchased an Elsa Gladiac Geoforce GTS video card upgrading my Voodoo2. I purchased this with the sole purpose of playing UT in a better resolution. I, unfortunately cannot increase my resolution to anything higher then the 1024x768 I already had. Could someone please tell me how to increase this setting.

When you right click on the desktop in windows and select properties than settings, what value can you select for screen size?

What size monitor do you have?

I have a 17" monitor it allows me to only go to 1024x768. I was curious if the monitor had anything to do with it. If it does it is going to coast me $500 + to play UT in better resolution.

Damn...how much more resolution do you need than 1024x768. I also have a 17" monitor and I'm only running it at 960x720 and I'm 3 feet from my monitor. If your monitor only supports up to the 1024x768 then thats all you get. Make sure your using a current driver for it. If you have the wrong one then thats your problem. I know thats the case with mine. I think also that if you reduce your refresh rate you can then increase your res? Let me know

It's your monitor.

Have a look in the manual and see if you can find any specifications on what rez it can handle. With a bit of luck, you may only need to change the driver. What brand/model monitor is it and what device driver is windows using for it? Er, you are running Windows aren't you?
