It's mostly going to come down to what resolutions your new graphics card supports. You can perform checklist for display modes to retrieve this info. Here is some code from the The Comet.

Thanks for all, zeroSlave, my graphic card does not support resolutions lower than 640x480, what i want to do is using screen of 320x200 stretched/wrap to 640x480, my old graphic card supported it but my newer doesn't stretch or fit, intead of this, shows nothing/black or a small screen window next to a corner.
Any solution?

You could check he properties and maybe run it full desktop instead of full screen?

Set Display Mode 320, 240, 32
Set Window on
Maximize Window


This is about the best you can do. A full-screen window at 320, 240 resolution stretched to fill the screen. I couldn't find anything to make a border-less window, perhaps a plugin will do this.

Why do you want such a low resolution?
You could always draw to a bitmap and stretch the bitmap to fill the screen.

Meanwhile...

Try 'set window layout 0,0,0'

You can use an additional camera with your custom 320x200 (or even 1x1 LOL) resolution, forward all drawing operations into it, then just texture a plain with disabled filtering, stretch plain to screen, while your camera 0 has normal supported resolution like 800*600.
