Looking to full screen EFI boot with 660 ti

[zerophase]

I have an asus 660 ti that I flashed the EFI bios to. The only problem is I can't get fullscreen boot to work. I'm booting at the right resolution, but have the black bars around the boarder. I had heard EFI graphic bios can support fullscreen. Does anyone know if there's a bool I need to flip on the card to get full screen all the way through?

What are you using for a monitor?

I have an ASUS VG27AH connected through DVI.

I would check your monitor settings to see if something is wrong there, or go into nvidia's control panel and see if something is wrong there.. Your monitor is only 1920 x 1080 and that card should do that res with no problems.


Go into nvidia control panel and inside display click on adjust desktop size and position. if you see no other problems with the monitor i would use that to make it go full screen.

It's full screen once I get into the OS. It just isn't full screen for bios, and boot loader. From how I understand EFI graphics drivers they can keep full screen through out the entire boot process, if the manufacturer enables it. From what I've read there's probably a bios setting that can be flipped.

How much time do you spend in the bios or watching your computer boot that you have to have full screen? The bios is controlled by the motherboard not the graphics card. Your graphics card doesnt even know whats going on till it loads into windows to get it drivers. Anything before that is just the motherboard bios using generic drivers for the card.
