Im using a ati fire gl v5100 workstation card with catalyst driver,

the modeling windows in maya are squashing everything verticaly

this means i cant get a proper handle on the proportions, i will post 2 images to illustrate, the model facing upwards is squashed.

I'm either crazy or blind, but I don't see the problem...

To my eyes the top one is wide and stubby, turn it to the side and it is less wide and longer..?

As a web developer I use a tool called screen calipers...

both pictures are exactly the same... size in height and width, sounds like a driver issues...

I get an issue with mine where the screen goes a bit "wierd" and i need to minimise and maximise the screen

Thank you for your help guys, ive found out that with my card and some more expensive ones that when working with 3d apps ( presumably with open gl ) if the screen resolution is not exactly derivable to 64 in height and width they can give problems!!

makes you wonder why they charge us extra for work station cards.

I really mustmake sure my mate doesnt see that post or i will never hear the end of it!

arnt we supposed to get better math co processing with a work station card as opposed to just endless texturing pipelines?
