Hey guys,
I've just gone and got a 1920 x 1080p PC Monitor (specifically the Acer G246HL) since I had a 32" Bush LCD TV I was playing on before, but I've now had a few issues.
When I plug in the HDMI Cable from the back of my monitor to my GPU the screen down-scales by a few centimeters all the way around my monitor, so I have a useless and very irritating border, however when I use the D-Sub cable instead it is at the size it should be! Therefore I am temporarily sticking with the D-sub cable.
Also at the moment I jump into a game of BF4 and I'm now getting about 10-20 fps on lower settings (mostly medium) than my usual 50+ fps at 1360 x 768, in the device manager the monitor is just coming up as generic pnp monitor which was there before and it will not show any others even when I click scan for hardware changes, that one is also up to date as is my drivers for my gpu, also my system rating for graphics has dropped from 7.9 to 6.6, am I being a complete rookie and missing something, or could my gpu be degrading? (I purchased it brand new 9 months ago).
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
My Specs:
-Intel Core i5-4430 3.00GHz Haswell
-Gigabyte H87M-HD3 Motherboard
-AMD Sapphire Radeon HD 7850 2GB
-Corasair Vengeance 8GB Ram (2x4GB)
-Corsair Enthusiast TX750W PSU
-Samsung 500GB HDD
-Seagate Barracuda 2TB HDD
Edit: see my other post below I've minimized it to just 1 problem.
