Stretched picture on one monitor

Hello everyone.

 

I have a rather strange issue with a monitor when trying using nvidia surround.

When I use the "activate all displays" option (so no surround is used) everything works fine, but if I select the option "span displays with surround", one monitor displays a stretched image, like it is displaying 1700x1080 instead of 1920x1080 so it looks crappy.The other 200 pixels are off-screen and the monitor claims it is displaying 1920x1080. 

This is my setup

The "analogue display" is the one with the problems. Both left and right monitors have VGA only sadly enough so I'm using dvi to vga adapters.
When I switch the cables of the 2 vga monitors(left monitor on gpu2 & right monitor on gpu1) I have the same issue on the same screen so it has to be related to the monitor, but I have no idea how to fix it.

 

Do you guys have any suggestions?

Does your monitor have an auto-adjust setting? Try using that. Also go into your windows screen settings and see if it also says 1920x1080

Yeah i've tried that, also tried adjusting it manually so it fits but I can only adjust it for like 50 px so that doesn't work either.

It's because natively, analogue goes to 4:3, try switching to a digital output on that monitor, like HDMI.

 

I had the same problem on my hackintosh, it's easily fixed. Looks perf now :P

Would buying an active HDMI to vga adapter work then? It only has vga.

Yes, that should work, however, it would add latency

Allright. Will purchase this then http://www.amazon.com/Cable-Matters-Gold-Plated-Active-Adapter/dp/B00879DM56/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1402087860&sr=8-1&keywords=hdmi+to+vga

Or is the input lag really bad, like 20 ms?  It's not mentioned in the specs and reviews

I wish the best of luck to you. I think the latency will be maximum of 15ms on top. However, hopefully, it will be more like 7ms as it looks like a nice one to be honest.

Haha, no prob, hopefully, more help than the GeForce Forums was :P

 

It's just like the Tonymac forums, people don't even bother clicking on the post for troubleshooting.
