GTX 970 and TV scaling

sepheronx · Nov 14, 2018

so this is an interesting issue.

My friend who has my old GTX 970, has it connected to his 1080p TV. So after connecting it and setting to 1080p, of course it is stretched passed the bezel meaning I have to scale it. No problem. So I scale it.

Issue is though, every now and then, it just goes back to default for whatever reason. Just automatically, from sleep mode, goes back to standard display before setting resolution.

Any reason why this is happening?

As a note, he also has it set on an HDMI splitter. Could that also be the issue?

Setup is:

Core i5 3570K
Asus mobo (forgot which one)
16gb DDR3 1600mhz ram
MSI GTX970
Corsair 550W Gold PSU

i dealt with this for years on my daughters PC, which was hooked to our TV. frustrating, and annoying. never got it resolved, but your not the only one FWIW also a gtx970, in my case though, it MIGHT have been caused by irregular resolution, as the TV was older, and 1080i, not 1080p

Actually there is a problem with that, there is no reason why it should be stretched unless 1080p isn't the native resolution of the TV. I think there is something else amiss here.

Like what?

I had this same thing happen to me with a TV and my AMD card in the past, and I never figured it out.

On a computer screen, works perfect. On a TV? Nope.

TVs try to be oh so helpful, I have the same issue on my GTX 1060 on any TV I connect to. You gotta fumble around with the TVs settings, not the computer's.

1080p is 16:9, there should no scaling needed or stretching. Are you really sure that's a 1080p TV ? Try it without the splitter .

Exactly. I had KODI connected to a 1080p TV and it did the same thing every time it was rebooted. Fun times...
