Hello -
I'm in the middle of a new build for a desktop video editing machine and am running into an issue with my graphics card and/or monitor.
The highest resolution I can get from my Radeon HD7970 is 1920x1080. And even with that, It does not fill out the entire screen. I have black boarder of about 3/4" going around the outside of my Windows 7 screen image. I'm using a 1080P HDMI cable to connect to the Samsung Monitor (SMS23A550H).
What's strange is that I am also running a laptop via the vga connection to this monitor and it to will only go to 1920x180. However - the laptop fills the entire screen Windows 7 (Explorer?) screen.
I have the Radeon HD7970 installed in the #1 PCI slot (blue) of my ASUS P9X79 WS motherboard.
I went ahead updated the drivers for the MB, video card, and my Samsung LED monitor and have re-seated the video card and still can't get it full screen nor an option to try a higher resolution.
OTHER COMPUTER SPECS:
MB: ASUS P9X79 WS ACPI
CPU: Intel (R) Core (TM) i7-3930KCPU @ 3.20GHz speed: 4054MHz
RAM: Ballistix by Crucial 16GB (2 8GB Sport DDR3 - 1600 (PC-12800) CL9 @1.5V
GPU: MSI Radeon HD7970 OC Edition 3GB GDDR5 PCI-E 3.0 DirectX 11
Can anyone tell me what may be going wrong?
Thanks for any help you can provide.
