old thread? for and epic problem. lol.

installed the 196.21 under XP and got fixed aspect ratio working by using first a 19" lcd, selecting it, and then switching back to my 1080p lcd. got 1920*800 working perfectly. but, I tried this on windows 7 and didn't work. nvidia has serious problems.

does ATI have this feature? customs resolutions?

196.21's are bugged.

The 197.25 set seems to have cured the scaling problem...(well for me at least).

No more fuzzy text..

When I try fixed aspect ratio scaling, it reverts back, yet ingame, somehow, it does work :|

I still have this problem on 263.09

Oh God, I remember this problem. I'm pretty sure it shouldn't work on G80, as I remember reading it lacks the ability. Even though there was a workaround in some older drivers. I also noticed on newer cards it reverts back but still works, like Corrupt^ stated. Not sure what else causes it though, it's always been buggy.

Use moninfo from EntechTaiwan to dump your EDID into an .inf, use notepad to edit its content, put it in a folder other than your desktop, use device manager to install it, reboot, plug 'n pray.

Yes, I noticed the scaling was working correctly for 3DMark11 yesterday as both the Performance and Extreme tests are 16:9 aspect ratios of 1280x720 and 1920x1080 respectively. Both displayed correctly with top and bottom borders on my 1920x1200 native screen.

However, if I select 1920x1080 on the desktop then the screen is stretched vertically to 1920x1200 which was not the case when I was using the HD 5870 cards as the 1920x1080 resolution was shown in a 16:9 ratio with top and bottom borders. I had this same issue when I had my GTX 280 back in March so I'm amazed that it still has not been fixed. It's not often that I praise AMD but at least scaling works exactly as you'd expect with their cards.

Holy ****, fix the damn scaling issues nVidia.

It has been so many drivers, so many years and even now on 301.42 I can only select "Full-Screen" option (other than GPU scaling, which thankfully works since Display scaling is blurry).

So many old games require this option (I am trying to fix this problem for Warcraft 3 but here we are..). Maybe if new GTX 680 users complain they will fix it. Since it seems nVidia ignores complaint from older cards owners the moment they have new expensive **** to sell.

Well, if it's just for recording you can still play it distorted and just deal with it :/
