GTX 960M scaling problems

WizardLizard · December 28, 2015

So a friend of mine recently got a new laptop meant for gaming for christmas and while trying to play games on it encountered this problem.

When in fullscreen mode the game itself stretches past his actual screen so he only sees a portion of the game.

I've tried everything from updating his drivers and changing his native resolution to something lower to no avail, however we discovered that if he launches it from the nvidia control panel it seems to work just fine and the resolution is 1366 x 768 and it works fine, i've even tried switching the native resolution to that and it just plain looks bad and all stretched out.

(the native resolution is 1920 x 1080)

(Would like to mention that i have very low knowledge when it comes to resolution and scaling in itself, hence why i'm here)

if someone would be able to help that would be much appreciated!

Have a look in the display section of the intel hd graphics control panel. There should be a couple of option for display scaling.

I used to have the opposite problem on my laptop with the windows 10 drivers, where any res below native would be a small box in the middle of black bars, rather than stretching to fit the screen.
