I recently put together my second build, installed drivers, and everything is mostly functioning fine.

The problem is that when I enable GTX 760 drivers, the aspect ratio on my 24 inch, 1080 Insignia TV gets messed up. The screen extends over the edges by what seems like 3/4 to 1 inch, and the resolution drops noticeably. Disable the 760 and use the integrated i5 graphics and all is well.

Monitor as well as Nvidia software says it's correctly at 1080 resolution, as well as drivers being updated and working.

The TV is connected to the 760 with HDMI.

Any ideas on what's going wrong here?

Specs if it will help:
MSI GD65 gaming
EVGA GTX 760 Superclocked
16 gigs Gskill ram
1000w EVGA PSU
24 inch Insignia 1080, 60hz TV
Kingston SSD 240gig
3 WD hdds

ANY help will be GREATLY appreciated as I'm simply out of ideas and quite frustrated at this point. :/

I had this issue too, The only way I found to fix it was to use the scaling option in the NVidia control panel to reduce the resolution until the image fit the screen.

There must be some way besides that? The highest resolution I can achieve is therefore 1680x1050, and on a screen this size it's noticeably blurry. Is this a monitor compatibility issue with the 760? In other words if I went out and bought a different monitor is this likely to happen again? Is it the 760's fault? I sure hope not.

I don't think its a problem with 760's as I use a 780ti, Its strange because I use two monitors and one is fine and one is messed up

Somewhere in the NVIDIA control panel is a parameter called over-/underscan. Set it to zero. If that doesn't help, your TV may have an option to display the native resolution.

WOW that fixed it right up. It was indeed underneath my monitors display, which I had fooled around with but apparently not enough. Overscan set to off fixed the issue. THANK YOU.
