I have an R9 280X. How would I go about changing the scaling?

it will be under screen resolution

 

if not CCC should have the option too

Well, I apparently made a mistake by swapping out my shitty ASRock motherboard with an MSI SLI Plus Krait Edition. Now only part of my screen is being used up, leaving annoying black bars around my partial screen. However, if I lower the resolution to 1050p or 768p, the entire screen is once more used up, but I bought a decent 1080p monitor for a reason, so does anyone have any suggestions? I'm desperate here. Also, know that I already installed the latest drivers for both my motherboard and GPU, so that's not the cause.

Overscale thingy. What is your GPU? You just need to change in settings the scaling to 0% if I'm not wrong.

Budget? Uses? Currency? Location? Operating System? Peripherals? Monitor? Use PCPartPicker wherever possible.

Are you using the hdmi output on your gpu. If so go into catalyst control centre and screen/ display settings (cant remember). From there adjust over/ underscan accordingly.
