Hello all,
After building my new PC, I have been playing an assortment of modern games to try it out. All good.
A couple of days ago, I decided to put some of my old favorites on, and while I have gotten them to work well enough, they are all 'stretched' from their native 4:3 res, and look like I am playing as Jake and the Fat Man on screen.
Ok, Maintain aspect ratio must not be selected right? Right. Unfortunately, the option is greyed out in CCC!?! So I head to the internet...
'Change your resolution lower and then the option will be selectable. Select it, up the resolution and all will be well!' Ah, no. I have tried this now about 20 times, with many different resolutions. The option is greyed out on any resolution.
'Make sure you download your monitor drivers!' Sorry, there are no drivers I can find for my monitor (Asus VX238H).
The last hope is changing from my current arrangement of HDMI to DVI cable, to a HDMI to HDMI cable, where I saw in one thread that somebody fixed the issue by doing this?
In any case, I am using Catalyst Control Centre 13-12 if that means anything.
I noted that this problem has stretched back years...Is there something strange going on here with AMD? I is there something stupidly simple I have overlooked?
