What is Z71V Native resolution?

And what if the game does not have that resolution (only lower), to what should I set it?

Spaxspore · 05-14-2005, 08:44 AM

the res is 1680x1050, if the game doesnt support it use a lower wide screen res, and if that isnt there go to 1024x768

What is a "a lower wide screen res"

Or what are they?

Also, anyone knows what is the difference in perfomance between 6600 in Z71V and ATI 9800 Pro 128 Mg for Desktops ?

ATi is what I have on my Desktop and 6600 is what I will have in my Z71V as a replacement.

9800 pro gets about 5000k in 3dmark 03, and about 1.8k in 3dmark 05

MobileMeter(On AC Full Load, Fan Full)= [CPU@ 62C] [HDD@ 37C]
Win XP Pro SP2 time to install = 14 minutes

z71v 3dMark 2003 (275/563) = 5120
z71v 3dMark 2005 (275/563) = 2018

As for lower res wide screen here are some more
1400x1050
1280x1024

Entropius · 05-14-2005, 08:59 AM

1280x1024 is not widescreen.

1280x800 is 16:10 widescreen (what my panel does), and 1280x768 is 16:9 widescreen (what dvd's are in, and what some of the itty-bitty Fujitsu machines are).

i know that but on this laptop the lowest wide screen res is 1400x1050, 1280 is the next lowest but it is not widescreen

AuroraS · 05-14-2005, 09:11 AM

1400x1050 isn't widescreen...

Spaxspore · 05-14-2005, 09:18 AM

he asked what availbe res r w/ the z71v and thus i told him

ccbrowning · 05-14-2005, 09:49 AM

Well, you said 1400x1050 is the lower widescreen res, and it isn't, it is a normal 4:3 aspect ratio. However, if you turn off stretching, you can run 1400x1050 and just have a small black bar on each side.

The next one down it 1280x800, or 1280x768 like someone else said. I know my 20" dell panel runs those resolutions fine and they look good in HL2 (which supports them). Most games that have widescreen support do those resolutions in my experience.

Spaxspore · 05-14-2005, 10:05 AM

ok to make my previous posts clear the only true widescreen res that the asus supports is 1680x1050

ivsft · 05-14-2005, 10:18 AM

Thanx :-)

I will be getting my Z71V soon. My First Laptop.

All the latest drivers i can get here right? http://www.laptopvideo2go.com/

And also where can I get all the latest drivers for this laptop? On Asus site or?

Spaxspore · 05-14-2005, 10:33 AM

asus or chembook, the are the same laptop, i just flashed my laptops cmos with the latest from asus last night, and this laptop is "labeled" as a chembook. They are both exactly the same, just with different names
