Video Card not using full screen

[Countergod]

Hi guys, I have a strange one.

I just reinstalled Windows 7, and one of my monitor's images are not stretching to full size of hte monitor. I tried the monitor's image stretching, it didnt work. The stranger part is that, before the reinstall, i did not have this issue, after the reinstall, my monitor #2 was the one not filling the screen correctly. I uninstalled the graphics drivers, then reinstalled, and #1 is not filling properly, and #2 is filling fine.

I have 2x Radeon HD 5770 cards on crossfire,dxdiag says no problems found. Any ideas on how to fix this? its rather annoying because my graphics are being squeezed.

Thanks!

Are the native resolutions for both displays coming up in your display properties or are you getting only less than native resolutions in your #1 dropdown?

The proper resolutions are coming up, but 1920x1080 looks obviously squeezed down, while 1776x1000 looks "normal" ie how big everything is supposed to look. however, the screen still isnt filling the entire monitor.

had a similar issue once when running dual monitors after a re-install. Cant for the life of me remember how I fixed it but I know it was somewhere in the settings Something to do with over/under scan in the CCC

Well, Id love it if you could remember

this is getting annoying, esp since it is on my main monitor. what is CCC?

Try going into Catalyst Control Center (CCC) -> My Digital Flat Panels tab -> Properties (Digital Flat-Panel) -> under Image Scaling, click to Enable GPU scaling + Scale image to full panel size

Then, go to Scaling Options (Digital Flat-Panel) -> check the box where it says "Use the scaling values instead of the customized settings when the desktop resolution does not match your DFP resolution." -> slide the bar from Underscan to Overscan.

See if this works? I kind of had similar problems, but this seemed to sort of fix my LCD resolution. 1080P made everything too small so I had the resolution set to 1440 x 900 or something like that, but then the new resolution didn't fit the whole screen. So this is what I did. Hope this makes a bit of sense for you.

Yup, the AMD Catalyst software sometimes acts strange.....never had this problem with nVidia.

Must have been too excited to reply to the post. I'm joking.
