I recently installed a MSI GTX 960 4GB into my system after running on my APU for a couple of months since my old card broke. (XFX HD7850 CORE Ed. 860MHz 2GB)

My main monitor is a BenQ GW2250HM which holds its correct resolution of 1920x1080 currently.
My secondary monitor is a Belinea 1925 S1W which used to use 1440x900 on my old GPU and APU, but currently I can't find any resolution that looks right for it.

Main monitor is using a HDMI cable currently and secondary is using a VGA cable with a DVI adapter.

Could anyone suggest any solutions to this problem?

My other system specs are below:

Gigabyte F2A75M-D3H AMD FM2 A75 DDR3 mATX

Seagate 1TB Barracuda SATA 6Gb/s 64MB 7200RPM Hard Drive

Kingston 8GB (2 x 4GB) HyperX Genesis DDR3 1600MHz DIMM 240-pin CL9 XMP

OCZ 500W OCZ500MXSP-UK Modular

AMD A10 5800K Black Edition

MSI GTX 960 4GB
 
Solution


go into the nvidia drivers and make sure overscan is set correctly


also make sure you have the right pixel format chosen


you can also go to display > adjust desktop size and position and adjust settings there

That the fonts and images are skewed across the screen. Text does not appear sharp, blurry appearence etc.
