I am always on 75Hz (max on my monitor) so I guess no issues for me.

Edit: 60Hz and 70Hz also working fine.:roll:

So I just got a 2900xt today, still does it =/ and now I cant even roll back to the 7.4 drivers due to the fact that the installer refuses to allow me to update them at all. Any suggestions? (cant rollback within device manager either).

Uninstall the drivers, and download and run Driver Cleaner Pro, then try to reinstall.

You can force the resolution to re-appear by adding it in with 'powerstrip'. (Google 'powerstrip custom resolutions').

I actually fixed it myself, I was searching ATIs website and found these...

HD2900XT_vista_dd_ccc_enu_47097

I dont remember where I found them on their site, but once I installed them and rebooted and set my res I was able to use 1440x900. As for the refresh rate setting, my LCD TV can only go to 60hz max at 1440x900 so it wouldn't have worked for me. If someone has an interest in these drivers I can upload them (for Vista 32bit/64bit only for the ones I have).

Thats the original beta driver release for the HD2900 that supercedes 7.5. I found it to be quite a buggy driver in terms of game stability.
