Hi, I'm helping a neighbor with the "new" montor

it has a radeon r7 260x graphics card

monitor asus vw222s

and windwos 10

the monitor has only a vga connector and the card has a hdmi and dvi connector

I gave a dvi to vga adapter and connected it to the monitor with a vga cable

everything works but there is a problem

the monitor has a resolution of 1680x 1050 and it does not show me in Windows (the latest card drivers)

I have 1600x1200 and the screen is weird and the "x" button to close the browser is not visible in chrome



How can I get it?

any other adapter?

some parameter in windows? it would be nice to be able to add a custom resolution manually simply



Do you have an idea how to fix it?





Yes, I know it's old equipment but it is and I can't help it.
 
Maybe try :
1)Change the resolution to display in the windows settings, set to the native screen resolution and refresh rate( unit is in Hertz Hz);
2) same but in the graphics card software
3) mess with scaling settings in graphics card software, ( I encountered such with a TV that I was trying to use as second monitor and thens as only monitor.)

Hard to say without the hands on , on troubleshooting , and even then... .
