Graphics Card Issue - XFX 7850

Last response: in Systems

Hey all, I have an interesting problem for you!

I created my first ever homebuilt PC today, and it is working :love: 

HOWEVER. I have graphics issues *sigh* . I am using an XFX Double Dissipation HD 7850. The computer wasn't recognizing it's presence initially, yet after running the AMD drivers, it finally recognized present of a HD 7800 Series (nothing more specific than that). Is that normal?

The next problem is, that when running 1920 x 1080, which is my monitors resolution, it doesn't fill the entire monitor? Even when choosing automatic resolution etc, it just doesn't fill the screen! I am using HDMI connection, and have never had this problem with this monitor before.

Any ideas?

Thanks in advance TkTk :cry:

The problem with HDMI is common, you mean the black borders correct?


Yep, exactly!

I'm assuming changing adaptor to the monitor will fix things?

That's a AMD driver issue; simply fixed by doing the following;

Catalyst Control Center ==> My Digital Flat-Panels ==> Scaling Options ==> increase the over scan until it covers the whole screen.

Happy Gaming!

Coffee~
