ati hd 4350 wont sync with arcade monitor please help?
lostinarcade:
so i got myself this http://www.asus.com/Graphics_Cards/AMD_Series/EAH4350_SILENTDI512MD2LP/ card like a day ago to use with my arcade cab and a jpac. installed crt emudrdiver 9.3. i picked 640 x 480 in quickres and my pc monitor went out of sync saying its 15.6 khz. so i shut down my computer, plug in the arcade , i get the normal split screen thing and just when it gets into windows it goes out of sync.
i have tried for like 2+ hours to get it to work, changing settings but no luck :banghead:
i even unintalled the drivers, let it boot into windows having the split screen on the arcade monitor, then installed the drivers like that and changed the color and resolution and it still goes out of sync right after that.
i also used vnc to link to my computer, changed some resolutions and settings and still it wont sync.
i did use a nvidia card from a friend previously with soft 15khz and that worked.
anyone have some idea of what i can do to get it to work? like some settings that i should mess with in windows?
here is a video of my arcade with split screen and then booting into windows going out of sync.

That's the exact card I've got and it does work.
Use the DVI output instead of the VGA one. Use a DVI to VGA converter.
BTW: never leave the monitor like in the video with the horizontal line or you'll burn the tube.

okay im glad the card does work. but is it a must to use the dvi port?
im thinking obviously its some setting on the software end thats causing the issue.
maybe the refresh rate or something?
i have not tried using powerstrip yet. but infact it could be helpfull maybe...
see if i goto arcade_osd it gives u a vfreq of 60 hz for instance. now if u choose the arcade custom resolution on powerstrip the vertical resolution is 30 and the horizontal is 16. so my simple question is could it be due to the vfreq being at 60 that it does not work and i should instead try 30 ?
how about the polarity?

Absolutely. This is #1 issue regarding modern ATI cards.
It's not a sync problem, there's no video signal at all because the arcade monitor is not detected at boot time. DVI output keeps on even if nothing is detected, that's why you must use it.

Hi Calamity,
I have a MSI HD 4350, and I wanted to know if that is the same card that you have (Asus) and the one recommended by SailorSat (at http://community.arcadeinfo.de/), stating "First Radeon to support real 320x240!"
Here is a snapshot of its specifics, displayed by GPU-Z:

SailorSat says: "As for the radeons: They all use the very same chip (and drivers) so there is no difference between various brands."
Judging by my snapshot, what is your opinion?
