Are you sure your monitor supports 1680x1050?

Is this it:

Black Hanns.G 19" Widescreen LCD Monitor HW-191D, 5ms, 1440 x 900, 700:1, w/ Speakers

If so you cant use those settings.

well ivve got it working but its jumpy as hell only 15fps constant,

my specs are pretty crap

amd athlon 3200 2.2ghz
2gb ram
xfx 6200 512mb agp
120gb maxtor

my specs are probably too low but i get my new rig in 2 weeks what you guys think

    * AMD AM2 Athlon 64 X2 Dual Core 5000+
    * nVIDIA nForce 570 SLi Motherboard
    * nVIDIA GeForce 7950 GX2 1024MB DDR PCI-Express
    * 2048MB DDR2 PC5400 Memory
    * 320GB 7200RPM SATA II 8MB Hard Drive
    * 16x DVD±RW DVD Writer (Lightscribe)
    * 16x DVD-ROM
    * Enermax CS-527B Black Knight Midi Tower Case
    * 400W PaxPower Low Noise Power Supply (Dual 12v Rails)
    * Floppy Drive and 7 in 1 Card Reader
    * 8-Channel High Definition Audio
    * 10/100/1000Mbps LAN
    * 8 x USB 2.0, 2 x Firewire

liquid cooled aswell

i kinda got a feeling ill be needing a bigger PSU dont ya think lol

its only 1x 7950 but realy 2 if ya know what i mean, im gonna get u big PSU so that when i do purchase another gfx card for sli it will be able to handle it

well the guys who im getting it from let me change aything anyway, thats why im getting it liwuid cooled as it sounds good but i wouldnt have the 1st idea on how to fit it so the guys said they will fit it for free

Yeah, WS res for 19" is 1440 x 900. Setting the game to run at anything more will cause you to CTD. With the correct settings made to the shortcut there's no need to edit the config files.

That's not necessarily true. You get some 19" WS LCDs that are 1680x1050 native.

5m refresh rate? ewww


21 inch with 2m yay

Not sure about the brand of Graphics card you're buying.. But ALWAYS remember to buy a card with the amount of ram you need (1 GB of GPU mem sounds exessive). No more. If you have more ram than you need in the card, it will waste bandwidth, power and processing when you dont use it. It's sorta like buying a pickup truck when you only have to drive 5 miles to work on a nice well paved street. It will cost you more "gas" (power), take up more space in your driveway and parking zones (bandwidth), and you cant cruise as fast as the equally priced mustang (speed/processing).

Also look at the speed of your RAM blocks. Cheap 1 GB blocks are a LOT slower than cheap 512 MB blocks. So if you're getting 1GB mem blocks with a high latency, I'd suggest either spending a bit more on low latency memory, or going for 4 cheaper, low latency, 512MB blocks (assuming your board can take 4 blocks). Having four blocks will also on some boards mean that you can take advantage of a SECOND memory bus for even faster RAM speeds (sorta like dual dual memory).

As everyone else has pointed out, you may need more power than the PSU you have indicated aswell.

Other than that. If the NIC on onboard on an Nforce chipset, you need to tweak a lot of settings to get decent speed out of it, but that's only like 10 minutes of work, not worth getting a better NIC for, but you need to be aware of the required effort.
