plasmawolf55 Posted May 9, 2013 Share Posted May 9, 2013 (edited) I just recently upgraded my video card from a GTS 250 to a radeon 7770 (My friend has this card and an identical setup to mine and he can run skyrim at ultra just fine.) The resolution field is completely blank. (Skyrim worked fine before the upgrade) The error is: Failed to initialize renderer. Your display doesn't support the selected resolution. Please set a different resolution in Skyrim's Launcher under 'Display Settings'. I already tried manually setting the resolution, and playing in windowed mode didn't work either. Any input is needed, and would be appreciated. Other games do work, just not skyrim Edited May 9, 2013 by plasmawolf55 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boononnexus Posted May 9, 2013 Share Posted May 9, 2013 (edited) did you install and update your drivers? and do you and your friend have the same motherboard?you may have to launch skyrim from the normal loader if you've been using a SKSE launcher Edited May 9, 2013 by boononnexus Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
plasmawolf55 Posted May 9, 2013 Author Share Posted May 9, 2013 I have been launching skyrim completely vanilla with no mods, etc. My drivers are installed, and yes, we originally built our systems as twins. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

plasmawolf55 Posted May 9, 2013 Author Share Posted May 9, 2013 Turns out most games in my library just plain don't work. Call of Duty Black Ops 2 and Minecraft do, however. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boononnexus Posted May 9, 2013 Share Posted May 9, 2013 hmmmm. idk here that guy post tho Seems to me your display is incapable of displaying the 1024x640 resolution at fullscreen, but it is capable of displaying it in windowed mode. bFullScreen=1 means fullscreen, 0 means windowed mode. Since Aspect Ratio doesn't matter in windowed mode, you can choose any resolution below the max. your display can support Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
