I have a 9700 Pro, and it works fine up to 2048x2048. However, it starts doing
really odd things when I go higher (I'll have to look into that). What driver
version do you have installed? (It shouldn't matter, but I can't think what
else would cause problems.) Unfortunately, if the 2048x2048 limitation is a
video card limitation like I think it is, you can't do 3x even if it can be made
to work at higher resolution than your display.
Let me look into tiling support for snapshots (I've already implemented that for
printing, so it shouldn't be too hard). It isn't in the current release, but I
may be able to work something out to send you within the next day or so.
On a side note, you should definitely be able to improve the snapshot quality by
enabling 6x antialiasing, which should work fine. (On the other hand, given
that big snapshots don't work, perhaps it won't. I don't understand why the
9800 would behave any differently in LDView from my 9700.)
