GTX 295 1080p Resolution Problem and Crapification

[Mpyra]

Hello again forum,
i am trying to get my GTX 295 to work with my tv and computer so i can sli 2 of them and bench them against a 5970, but there is snagg!

So with the 5970, you set your res to 1980 and it underscans, so i go to my tv and set the perspective to cinema zoom and there is perfect alignment.

With the GTX 295 i do the same and it overscans, so i set it to Just Scan and voila, it matches up and is perfect except for one small thing, TOTAL CRAPIFICATION!

Honestly words could not describe how bad this CRAPIFICATION is, its so bad it makes my eyes bleed, i am using tampax as tissues right now It Is
that BAD.

I'll try and take some pictures of it with my iPhone, hopefully the low res pictures will somewhat shield you from the full force of it's effects.

I tried to take screen shot of it, observe exhibit A:

As you can see, it is such an abomination it warped itself into conformity, as observing infinite oblivion would engulf the universe in an infinite paradox, i am immune as the paradox is dependant on the observation of it's creator.

There are but two options, you must help me fix this problem, or i must take my own life to save all the lives of all living things in the universe.

I really don't want to die, so please help me!

I took a screen shot of the same forum while running my 5970, obsevre exhibit B:

Do you realise what you are witnessing?

In this photo is contained the ultimate microcosmic expression of normalacy, of the natural order of creation, it is the perfect antithesis to the above, it is honest, it is not hiding the infinite oblivion as the above is doing.

In other words, it didn't show up on a screen shot so here are photos:

Here are the photos of what is normal:

I'm stressed out from trying to learn to navigate flickr what ****ing unintuitve POS site that is, so the joking ends here.

What the hell could be causing this and what the hell is it?

I had to get in very close to to make it ovious to a camera, but if your looking at the whole, screen it really is just realy ugly, everyting is discoloured and jagged with the 5970 everything is colourful and smooth, this occurs both in explorer and in games or any program your running, looking at the whole thing is really an eye sore.

Okay, a bit more information, this weird "crapification" happens on all the nvidia cards i have at a range of different resolutions, 1360x768 is the last absolutely normal looking resolution, the next one up looks minimally abnormal, the next one up more up to the one just below 1080p which i really bad, then 1080p which is terrible.

My TV is an LG LH3000 if that makes any difference.

Obviously my attempt at humor has failed, but this is a serious problem for me, please i need some help, what could possibly cause this?

When I connected my PC to my Philips 1080i TV I think this 'crapification' you describe happened too. 800x600 looks fine. Even 720p looks alright but the more you crank it up the lower res (it seemed) to be displaying. 1080i looked very fuzzy and words were unreadable. It didn't bother me too much because I only connected it up for a weekend to watch some movies and never went back to that idea again. Judging from your photos though everything looks alright? Doesn't look too jagged to me.

Did you see the photo sets, the abnormal pixelation is very noticeable in them.

Lol, i was in a crazy mood when i wrote that first post haha.

Anyway, i've decided it's just a weird problem with my tv and nvidia drivers, possibly a fault with my tv, possibly a fault with the drivers who is to say.

All nVidia cards overscan on my TV though, even if i get the picture looking right it'll be overscanned.

trust me, it very definitely a very real problem and it was really an eye sore to look at, i kept switch back to the 5970 and it was such a relief to at a normal picture.

Anyway, i'm now going the ATI route, i like the way my TV looks too much to think about replacing it.

Thanks!

Okay, switching to a DVI to RGB cable has solved the "crapification" problem as well as the overscan problems, however the there is now another slight problem.

The screen overhangs on the right and falls short on the right, but the upper a lower borders match up perfectly at all resolutions.

I need a way to move the image bring displayed to the left somehow, anyone know how?

I know ATI have an option to adjust the picture, is there an auto button on the tv to adjust the signal?

My tv is an lg3000, i can change the aspect ratio, but with this card through RGB only 16:9 and 4:3 are availible, 16:9 is the right ratio, but it goes off of thr screen on the right and falls short on the left.

I just need to shuffle the display image across the screen somehow.

Okay, i have fixed it, you wewre right it was tv settings, i found a section where i could adjust size and position.

Thank you so much!
