[SOLVED] Weird RTX Full-Screen Bug...

AdamHoth · February 8, 2022

Have suddenly noticed a really strange bug. My Vizio 4K TV always listed 3820x2160 as the recommended resolution, but would also take a normal 4096x2160 input (both looked pretty much identical). Suddenly today, when I use the computer with the TV I noticed black bars on each side with 3820 that normally aren't there. Tried setting both the Windows 10 resolution and the NVidia control panel and both act the same - have to set to 4096x2160 to get rid of the bars. BUT now none of my games fill the screen properly. I normally use 2560x1440 for most games and the screen goes right back to having the bars. Also, when I try to adjust the format in the TV nothing happens (won't override to go wider or stretch). I know it's not an update to the TV because it's not attached to the network, and everything else has been fine. Any ideas?

Thanks!!

NEW ISSUE - so I tried a different device (my XBox 360) and 1080p and 720p both filled the screen properly, so is something from NVidia (maybe a game-ready driver issue). What part of the NVidia control panel would override a normal stretch/fill of a screen? Is there an integer adjustment or something?

FIXED! Turned out that it was some 'flutter' in the NVidia Control Panel. I normally leave it in "Aspect Ratio" mode to play 4x3 games correctly, and all I had to do was click off of that and then reclick it and it was fixed.
