    Hey ...
    I got my Rock laptop RMA´d recently (which took nearly 2 months!!) and it came back with an 8600M GS in it instead of the 7600 Go which was nice.

    The problem I have now is that I need an Nvidia driver that works properly with my external screen in its native resolution of 1680x1050 (Iiyama E2201W).
    Basically if I set it to 1680x1050, the screen "scrolls" left and right.
    If I set it to 1400x1050, it looks almost right, but not quite.

    Changing all the flat panel scaling etc settings or does not seem to make any difference whatsoever.
    I am connected with the DVI cable.
    I have also tried the Overscan utils on and off (from Nvidia website).

    It all worked in the past (with very old drivers).

    Drivers tested: 180.43, 178.24

    Any help or suggestions of which drivers will sort this out - primary use of this machine is work, but some gaming would be nice so recent drivers would rock :D

    Thanks all

    Have answered my own question - 180.70's seem to work.
    Just installed and all scaling as it should - literally 5 mins of testing though so not sure on rest of it.
    Will report back if I get issues ... but for now am a happy chappy again :D
