fucking piece of shit catalyst... everytime I update the driver, select a new resolution with new refresh rate, this fucking piece of shit always activates overscan, thus scaling down the image and making fonts unreadable and adding black bars around the screen.

Is there a way to permanently disable this "feature" forever and not just for one resolution/refresh rate at a time?

Windows 7 x64, cat 11.3 (just updated and still the same fuck), radeon 4850 here...

I've had plenty of problems with Catalyst related to TV on my laptop. Whenever I switch resolutions, for example, it decides the max refresh rate of my TV is 75Hz, not 60Hz, thus impossible to use the native resolution. I have to go, rescan the monitors to make it find the correct refresh rate - until the next time. Embarassed Now this was fine and dandy when I wasn't disconnecting the laptop from the TV, but I have two TVs, and that laptop was my HTPC.

But Frant will accuse me of trolling. Laughing

I don´t understand that this is suppose to be a problem still? Ive had this problem in the past, but it´s been fixed for nearly a year. Just today I updated my ATI drivers and still no problems. But yes this problem is really really lame.

A minute? Takes a second here. With my OCZ Vertex 2E 90GB. Cool Face

CCC is using .NET though, all according to Microsofts demands.

christ what a rant lol. and leo to the instant response with hate of course Very Happy bloody turncoat Razz

regarding the overscan, it happens initially on install of new drivers or reinstalling them clean, start up a game after already setting the overscan on my HD panel and it reverts back to wrong scale.

just alt tab - go to ccc (btw 200mb hog and ages to load? nothing like that ever here) set scan size back to as it should and click apply, job done. back into game and its set right.. Ive not seen it not hold its settings after that.

Also are you using the fandangled testing ccc stuff? Ive only ever seen it go tits up with that installed.Im guessing its doing it constantly to you for you to loose the plot in a forum like so about it Very Happy

just go for the balls pumpy!

Cool Face

I have no experience with using HDMI, TV's etc. so I can't really go one way or another with that.

Here's what I see in CCC though:

When I can use HDMI, I'd rather use it instead of DVI.

@Frant My laptop didn't have HDMI, so it was through VGA - the source of ATI problems for years. Actually never had issues when connected the 4870X2 to the TV with HDMI. But VGA is too much for ATI/AMD and their awesome drivers derpartment. Laughing

My 4850 only has two DVI outputs, so I use a DVI 2 HDMI output.

And this option you are showing frant, is what is initially always set to 15%! This means that the image is shrunk by 15% and the rest is just black Sad Always have to go into this setting and set it back to 0%. And randomly(!!) when there is a resolution switch or a re-fresh of the display (for example when the windows uac is active, the overscan is set to 15% again Sad

My problem is that I want to set this thing to 0% ONE time and not each and every time I use another resolution.

Didn't have ANY problems like that on my 8800GTS Sad

Can't say I had this happen in my previous HTPC, but I did suffer with that one (X1250 XPRESS or whatever it was called, about 2 years ago) in terms of default resolution options. It would never list 1080p for the TV, only 1080i, so I had to create that resolution myself. Maybe that's an option? Should prevent any underscan or overscan, and as long as it's not a CLEAN installation, it should preserve that custom profile.

Maybe your CCC starts faster because you have it in your autostart? I kicked that thing from there so that it does hog up less memory. (still made no difference with overscan Sad)

And my TV is being properly recognized. But in homefront f.e. I HAD to play in 1280x720 because in 1920x1080 no matter what, I had overscan! I switched my desktop to 24Hz, 50Hz, 59Hz, 60Hz, 61Hz and set overscan to 0% on all of them, still no luck. And I didn't find any option in homefront to fix the refresh rate. (I found some settings for the Unreal Engine 3 in general, put them into the config files, but no luck either Sad)

Your problem are most likely NOT caused by CCC but by your TV's EDID-profile (quite common).

You can use MonInfo to extract, check and create your own profiles: http://www.entechtaiwan.com/util/moninfo.shtm

I can only add HD TV formats, no sub HD formats and I can't directly add the refresh rate and force it to have 0 overscan. Why is it the fault of my TV when the 8800GTS didn't have any problems at all? Sad I'll try your tool, thx!

Looks like an HD-Ready TV Pumpy? That'll be your problem. That EDID report looks weird to me; native resolution is 720p as well according to that. Unfortunately for you, ATI respects that information to its finest. Before I got a Full-HD TV I had an HD-ready one as well, and I had the same shit you're having. And just for the record, for the haters: that happened with NVIDIA just the same on that TV. Highest I could get it was 720p; 1080i would be boxed on ATI, and on NVIDIA the image would be very unsteady (wobbly lines if that makes sense Razz). 1080p would just fail gloriously on both sides Smile

Anyway, in that HDTV support panel, tick 720p and 1080p (at both 50 and 60), and you should be able to force them. 720p is what you used for Homefront anyway.

And Crysis 2 etc is on 1080p too. No problems there. But after reinstalling the CATALYST I had to ALT TAB out of the game and set to 0% overscan...

Yet in the list below 720p is marked as native. Hence my question whether it's an HD-Ready TV, as some of them support 1080i/p partially (i.e. only with one specific refresh rate or such).
