ATi 5870 and Windows 8 gaming display scaling issue

joejoejoe_89 · May 26, 2013

Hi all. I am having an issue with my Windows 8 x64 OS and my Ati 5870 graphics card. When I play any game, I get black lines around the border of the screen. I have a 24" monitor that is in 1920x1080. I have tried to adjust scaling in the CCC but it only makes things worse. This issue only shows up in Windows 8. When I boot into Windows 7 x64, there is no black border and my games run at 920x1080. Any ideas on how to fix this issue with Windows 8?

Hi

Cant you adjust with the LCD panel controls? It should remember your settings.

Adjust it in the drivers manually or enable scaling

Hi Funguseater,

Thank you for the reply. I have tried to change my settings but only have a full or Fit option. I have tried both fit and full but same results. Windows 8 OS displays full screen, it only when I launch a game does the black bars appear. I have updated my ATi drivers to the latest version (13-4_vista_win7_win8_64_dd_ccc_whql). Weird thing is when booted into Windows 7, there is no issues when launching a game. Any other ideas?

Hi Unksol,
I have attempted to enable scaling but my screen goes all yellow when launching a game. Do you have any specific instructions I can try to adjust? Do I try to adjust when the game is running in the background?

I have enabled GPU Scaling in CCC and launched game but no changes. My game setting is 1920 x1080.

Update

I read on another forum to run my games in Windows 7 compatibility mode. All my games that I am playing this time are in Steam. I created a shortcut to each of my game.exe and changed them to Windows 7 compatibility mode.

portal 2 runs at 1920x1080 full screen.

Far Cry 3 runs at 1920x1080 with black bars
COD runs at 1920x1080 with black bars
Any ideas on what I can try next? I even have steam running in Windows 7 compatibility mode.
