I am using windows 7, and ati 7850 display card.
I would like to use the computer without monitor , and when I use teamviewer to control it, I found that the monitor detect is VGA , and the maximum resolution is 1600 * 1200 (60hz) or 1920 * 1080 (30hz).
Any idea about this? Since when I would like to use steam for game streaming it only let me select the 1600 * 1200, and there is no 1920 * 1080 choice, therefore, how can I set 1920 * 1080 60hz without monitor?
Thanks

Are you connecting a monitor or a TV?
Below are some methods that could perhaps solve the problem, singly or several together :
Method 1 : Use a tool to force the resolution
Here are some command line tools that can change the screen resolution :
QRes, NirCmd, Display Changer.
Method 2 : Registry updates
Search the registry for
DefaultSettings.XResolution
,DefaultSettings.YResolution
andBitsPerPixel
and change to the desired resolution.If necessary, add ColorDepth for RDP connection :
More info can be found here.
Method 3 : Setting the video adapter to custom setting
If your VGA video driver has customizing software, you could do something similar to:
Method 4 : Use a fake video plug
If it becomes necessary to fool Windows into believing that a real monitor is attached, see this tutorial on how to create such a plug using a spare DVI-VGA adapter and three 68 ohm resistors: The 30 Second Dummy Plug.
Method 5 : Use PowerStrip (shareware, $29.95)
The PowerStrip utility allows you to gain complete control over the video card.
