Graphics card using wrong resolution.

[ProficieNt]

I have recently purchased a card from abermedia and I am appalled with the lack of support. My video card treats it as a TV device and this gives me HDTV options this makes all the ratios die. Everything looks bigger and less stuff fits on the screen. I even had to adjust the overscan at the start. When I browse through the option the highest resolution for PC is 1620 by 1050. The items rerun to normal size however this is a non standard resolution and items look dodgy and the computer has some issues with displaying programs.


My graphics card is a AMD Radeon
HD 7870

Edit: I have a HDMI cable running from my graphics to my capture card which has a hdmi from there to the monitor. Only when I reroute through the capture card do I get the problems. I'm assuming it's the capture card drivers but any input is much appreciated.

Reinstall drivers, don't use a VGA cord, make sure HDMI or DVI or plugged into the card and not the motherboard, all else fails ur monitor is crappy

I know you want HDMI output to sample video output, so you might want to try using an HDMI-to-DP cable if that's an option.

I'd suggest HDMI-to-DVI but I don't think you would then have an option for audio output.

Other:
Your HDTV settings should work so I'm not sure what the problem is.

Do you have the latest AMD drivers?
Have you tried the "1080p@60Hz_NTSC" setting or similar? (I forget the exact wording)
- I know you said highest is "1620x1050" but if that's true you are in the wrong area. You need to be under HDTV settings.
Have you experimented with "Aspect" ratio settings on monitor and drivers?
Have you tried enabling "GPU scaling" vs "Monitor scaling" in the drivers?

If this really is a 1080p HDTV setting then you should be able to get that working in the AMD Video control panel as said under 1080p... so not sure what's going on. On my HDTV I chose that and did a slight scaling adjustment and it worked (NVidia).
