Cannot change game resolutions on my laptop

[iam480p]

Hi. I have a HP Notebook 14 BS072TX with an Intel Core i5 7200U processor and an AMD Radeon R5 M330 Graphics Card. I currently have 5 games installed in my laptop and those are: Watch_Dogs, Far Cry 3, Need for Speed Most Wanted 2012, Fortnite and GRID Autosport. While in GRID Autosport, I can change the ingame resolution to whatever I like.

The story for the other 4 games are different but has the same issue. I can't change the ingame resolution The only available resolution for the other 4 is 1366x768 which is my native resolution. I tried DDU-ing the integrated gpu and my AMD gpu and reinstalling the new drivers but to no avail. Still won't change resolution. Hoping for a fix for this issue. Thank you

I think this is how it works, I'm hoping someone smarter than I am can point out any flock ups;

That's not unusual. Different games use different scaling requests to talk to the OS. In theory your laptop LCD isn't scaleable, it tells the driver this and it tells this to the OS. The AAA titles are respecting this and not giving you a scaling option.

GRID totally ignores what the OS tells it the panel can support and looks for resolution listed by DX 11 flags (granted by the driver) instead in order to grant support for a lot of interlaced modes found on TV's. It should be getting a list of all the resolutions the R5 M330 supports.

I'm thinking- the image has to suck if it's not in native mode for your panel.

Yeah Mark RM has the right idea.

How come you want to lower the res?

Scroll down a bit to see 16/9 aspect ratio resolutions.

Could try set Windows resolution to one of those and see if game picks it up.

Try as well gpu scaling options in amd driver software not to keep aspect ratio.

Thanks for replying. I want to lower the res of the games for a balance of quality and performance like 1280x720 because the games can't run that good with the native resolution (20-23 fps).

Unfortunately, nothing helped with my issues oh well. Just have to set the resolution manually by the config files hahaha thank you
