question about playing games in 1080p on 1440p monitor

Go to solution Solved by Glenwing,

I am having this weird "gamma problem" with Dell u2515h 1440p monitor, when I try to play games on it in 1080p resolution. The game I am having problems with is witcher 3, the image turns awfully white when I turn the game fron 1440p to 1080p. Adjusting the gamma in game or from monitor settings won't help. Is there some kind of fix you guys know of?

 

might this have something to do with scaling?

 

Go into the NVIDIA control panel, under "Adjust Desktop Size and Position" make sure scaling is set to Aspect Ratio performed on the GPU.

Why are you playing games in 1080p on a 1440p monitor anyways?


Judge a product on its own merits AND the company that made it.
