Hmm so its nearly a 19inch monitor, you're best bet is 1280x960 or 1280x1024.
See if windows 10 has better refresh rates for 70 there, if so test it and see if you like taskbar and desktop icons lining up.
Change your desktop icons to small or hide them, it'll be less stress on the vga and windows when its working full time.

If your still keen on using 1366x768 by a new monitor or tv and use it.

This would be something that will work in your situation.

Go into the AMD control panel under display in the amd control panel look for a settings that can under/overscan your screen:

Pull the bar till your happy with your screen. I had to use this when I install an r9 270 and the screen had black borders around it for some reason. That's how I fixed it.

i read other tomshardware post stating that vga cannot be scale and dont have the perfect screen fit because it is analog. so if i use dvi to vga converter would it fix the problem?
