Stuck at 1280 x 720 resolution

[bigguytom1031]

I recently upgraded to win 10 and I'm permanently stuck at 1280 x 720 and I cant figure out why. Ive uninstalled all the old Nvidia driver and did a clean install of the win10 driver and it even says that I'm using 1920x1080 but its not, still 1280 x 720... anyone else have this issue? I feel like ive been on google looking for a solution for hours now and need the computer gods help at this point. Thank you in advance.

Can you give the specifications of your gfx card monitor etc?

Hello,

Try going to the control panel
>> Appearance and Personalization
>> Display
>> Screen Resolution
>> Click on Advanced settings
>> Then click on List all modes

You should be able to select the correct resolution there.

Otherwise try to perform a clean installation of your graphic's driver, this should enable you to change your screen resolution.

You may try as well this short Youtube guide;

Where does it say it's set at 1080p? And what makes you think it appears still in 720p? Does the monitor/TV report back? This is an unusual problem and normally when either Windows resolution or GPU control panel says a certain resolution, it shouldn't lie.

gtx980 and a 1080p 60hz tv, sorry for not including that

When I look at the display options in windows it says 1080p native but everything is huge and not not like it used to be when I had 7 and when I tested the resolution it said it was not 1080

What do you mean it said it running 1080p but it displaying 720p?

That sounds like icon size or DPI settings, can adjust that just like in Win7. Give that a go and see if you get some familiarization. It is in 1080p i believe, just the icons are bigger

I wouldn't worry about DPI, its not something that would need effort in changing, try making the icons smaller.:

OMG it was set to 175% magnification, its fixed now. >.> Feel like an idiot but your comment helped me look in that area to find the fix!!
