RX480 resolution problems

loubot1

Hi, after having a GTX 660 with two displays with normal resolutions and high quality looking display, I have moved to an RX480 and I am a bit stuck. One display is normal and looks how it was before, this display being a tv/monitor sort of thing with a res of 1680x1050. However, the one that has changed, is my TV that I use as a second screen. This is 1920x1080 but it looks really low quality, and the desktop among every other application is more zoomed in than it was before at the same resolution, and everything just seems giant and really badly pixelated. I have tried using the OS res settings as well as the AMD settings but it didn't seem to fix it at all. 

 

Any help is greatly appreciated, thanks

There's a chance an nVidia driver is giving you issues. Use DDU to uninstall all display drivers and reinstall the AMD ones.

It's because your 1050p monitor cant' run at 1080p cause you see both monitors have to be running at the same res.

Previously they could both be different resolutions so I don't see how that's true.

Just uninstalled only the nVidia drivers and it made no difference, will do all of them when I have time

I run a 1080 and a 1050 monitor with no issues. Run DDU and wipe all the drivers. Then reinstall the amd ones. 

I refuse to read threads whose author does not know how to remove the caps lock!

Having just removed all the graphics drivers and reinstalling the AMD drivers, I'm still getting the same issue. There will be pictures below.

http://imgur.com/jLsrixw - this pic is on the 1050p monitor which is normal, the cursor is a normal size and so is the program.

http://imgur.com/fTxI5aH - this pic shows the difference in cursor size when I move it onto the second screen which is the issue. 

http://imgur.com/z7nFsz0 - and finally, in this pic, when the program is half on the second screen, it changes size - notice the program size difference between this pic and the last pic

 

I am using an HDMI to HDMI for my 1050p screen, and a DP to HDMI for my 1080p screen.

 

Hope this enlightens my issue and hopefully will be able to fix it soon.
