more details.

Note:
- If you have not checked "Enable GPU Scaling" in Catalyst Control Center, you must do so first.
- This program has only been tested on one machine (AMD Turion Ultra X2 laptop with HD 3200 IGP),
   so please don't hesitate to give positive constructive feedback!

Usage:
- Run the program.
- Select the desired GPU Scaling mode.
- Run your favorite 3D application (such as a game, etc).
- Enjoy. Please everyone submit tickets to the Catalyst crew feedback system!
- Please donate if you like this program and/or my other programs!
If you need any more information or help, click the "Help" button in the program. If that
is not helpful enough, feel free to post on the forums!

Great idea, makes me wanna plug in those old 5870s I got :D
 
I remember trying this a while ago, it didn't work, so I just used the Overscan to 0% in CCC
 
Hmmmm...interesting. If it's really due to a residual registry key, I'd guess using DDU might be a better option to "fix" it(at least temporarily). Since it deletes a lot of registry keys. Probably wouldn't be too terribly difficult to find the key and delete it manually either. It sounds to me like it might be an AppData file that needs deleted though. But I can't say for sure on that.

BTW...DO NOT click that link in the OP. You've been warned!
