I can't find a way to set my laptop's display below 1024x768 resolution. The Windows 8.1 'low resolution' mode (640x480) works, but that cannot really be used with multiple monitors etc. The laptop has integrated Intel and NVIDIA GPUs.

EDIT: Can't create custom resolution using Intel's drivers, because I need to use 800x600 as desktop resolution, not only on a specific application.

    It might help if you explain the context. Why are you trying to set that low of a resolution?

  • We're trying to find a way to run a browser java-based game, which is locked at 800x600, and the browser zoom cannot actually zoom it in. Even though we could use, for example, the Windows low resolution launch option, that only supports one display.

You can't set it lower because the minimum required resolution for Windows 8.1 is 1024x768.

The minimum native resolution/color depth is 1024x768 at a depth of 32bits.
