HD3450 & Mitsu WD-Y65

[Riccochet]

Hoping someone can help me out with this. Running a HD3450 in my HTPC connected via DVI to my Mitsubishi WD-Y65. The TV's native res is 1920x1080, but setting the res to that in CCC gives me a picture that is overscanned. Changing the format on the TV from standard to reduced gives me a picture that is underscanned.

Now, I can't seem to find any setting in CCC to correct this problem. I tried all the scaling options and they do nothing. Very frustrating considering my old FX5700LE displays a 1920x1080 picture just fine.

Should I just sell this p.o.s. card and pick up a 8500GT? Blu-Ray playback and hi-def vid files are all I'm concerned about playing. Something the 5700 just can't handle. That and the card has to be fanless and not requiring 6pin pci-e power.

Any help is appreciated! Thanks!

I can tell you that it works perfectly using the 7600Go in my laptop (I have a 65732- damn near the same TV). Dig through the thread at AVS, I know there was info in it. Careful, though, there are 2 threads you should check, and both are 100+ pages

Well, I played with it for over an hour last night. Different drivers, scaling options...nada. I'm chalking it up as ATI's lack of scaling options in the drivers. McNabbing me a 8500GT next week.

Sucks, since this card works very well on 1080 content. Ah well, ATI's loss is Nvidia's gain.

Thanks for the reply Kil4Thril!

I think it is the ATI drivers' fault. Luckily for me, the only machine I would hook up to my TV happened to have NV graphics. It worked real easy.
