Scotty with the card that you have my suspicion is that the game's engine detects its capacity and then sets the res according to its capacity.Whenever I installed the game ona different pc or laptop automtically once I enter the video options in the game menu I get the message that your card allows you to play the game at max settign with high details.Once I put it on a laptop with a budget Nvidia G7000 and in the video options it said that the card does not allow me to play the game at high settings.Still I tried and it allowed me but the fps were so slow(4 to 5) that I quickly reverted to a playable resolution.

I checked your 9300 in the list of best graphic cards( both ATI and Nvidia for both pcs and laptops and it's way down the list.Even your new GT9500( ( hope you have the ddr3 model???) is below the one I currrently have - ATI Sapphire HD5550 - in terms of graphic and capacity.I am awaiting an ATI HD 5670 ddr5.Still I have an ATI HD3650 512 mgbs on my laptop which is just above your 9300 and I am able to play SF at 1280X 768.

A couple of dumb questions: when you manually set your resolution in the video options of the game do you click Apply afterwards? As well do you check/tick the various boxes, reduce amount of grass, bloom effect etc????
Since you have an Nvidia gpu have you tried setting the resolution of your game from within the Nvidia control panel? It seems to me you can do it.I can do it from the ATI catalyser package which allows me to manually set the graphics,AA AAF and overclock if I so want.

Luck!
