Greetings.
About a week ago, I purchased a Leadtek 6800GT PCI-E Dual-DVI video card. I am using it with an ASUS P5AD2-E motherboard and two 19" DVI LCDs. The 2-D video performance is excellent EXCEPT when I rotate one of the LCD screens to operate portrait display.
I have a 19" LCD that shows 1280 x 1024 pixels in landscape mode. Video performance is excellent in this mode. However, when I rotate the display to 1024 x 1280 (portrait), the two-dimensional performance decreases dramatically. (I have not tested three-dimensional performance when rotated.) For example, when displaying the "visualizations" in Windows Media Player, the visualizations are jerky and not smooth when the screen is rotated to 1024 x 1280. (But the visualizations are perfectly smooth when in 1280 x 1024 mode.) Dropping down menus even looks even slower… dragging windows, everything… on the portrait monitor in 2-D stinks.
I am running the latest version of the nVidia driver software from nVidia, recently reformatted my hard drive, reinstalled Windows XP SP2 and applied all available updates.
Is there any way I can correct this slow 2-D performance when in portrait display? Has this difficulty been reported by anyone before?
