dude, wheres my car
(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); Alright so here is the rundown. I had a Gigabyte Radeon HD 7950 3GB and recently replaced it with a EVGA Geforce GTX 680 4GB card because the Radeon card didn't have enough power for my needs. The new card works great and runs everything on extreme settings, but it is overscanning the picture. My monitor is 32 inch Led ViewSonic and does full HD (1080p) but I had to resize the picture size down on the graphics card to 1804x1014 so the picture would fit. I have asked multiple people and places on how to coreect this but all of them say, "Get a new graphics card" or "I dunno look on the internet." Multiple people have this problem and noe of them figured out a way to ratify the situation.

Heeelp meeeeee!!! :(

you need to check your tv settings for this idk why but recently from what ive experienced first hand is all 600 series cards dont scan the tv correctly and wont rescale the desktop/anything without messing with tv's , i have a 5k series samsung 40" and ik its got a setting to choose 16:9 or a fit screen option

the issue is tv's in general hook it up to a monitor it wont do it

Can you auto-scale or manual-scale on your monitor settings?
(Press the menu button on your monitor and go to Screen Size or something similar to that."

You could try updating the drivers through the NVIDIA control panel

Drivers for the graphics card and the monitor are updated to the latest.

The monitor that i have wont allow me to change the screen resolution. So I'm thinking its related to that. I contacted ViewSonic about this issue and now im just waiting for a response.
