I reinstalled Windows back in early April but just did it again on Monday due to getting a new HDD and GPU (750Ti to 1050Ti). Well when I reinstalled Windows the first time in April I remember I was able to see my desktop in 1920 x 1080p resolution BEFORE ever installing my 750Ti drivers.

But just two days ago I was never able to get a normal resolution without getting my 1050Ti drivers... you know when you first reinstall Windows and it's HUGE icons with terrible resolution. I had this until I got my 1050Ti drivers through GeForce Experience.

I had all of my mobo's drivers (see signature) on a flash drive prior and installed the "AMD Chipset and VGA Drivers" - I SWEAR the first time this changed my resolution without having my GPU drivers but this time it didn't. How can I make sure that if I uninstall my GPU drivers for whatever reason that I still get normal resolution from just my display?

Thats pretty normal to not get the correct resolution when you dont have the drivers.

Its possible when you did it previously windows was able to get the drivers for the 750 ti from windows update during the installation, and perhaps not for the 1050 ti due to it being much newer.
