Posting for my friend:

NVIDIA Component Overscan on a 480i SDTV, Nvidia's settings allow me to fix the overscan BUT while changing the overscan size my screen resolution also changes, because of that I cannot play any games on my TV. I'm trying for 640x480 resolution with no overscan.

--
From what he told me on TeamSpeak -- If he sets the resolution to 640x480, it sets it fine, but there's overscan. The corners stretched outside the edges and he cannot see them. He's trying to fix this with nVidia's Control Panel, but so far, no luck.

His Computer Specs:

OS: Windows 7 / Windows XP
CPU: Intel Core 2 Quad Q6600 (OC'd to 3.0 GHz)
RAM: 4GB DDR2 1066 2GBx2
Video: GeForce GTX 260 Core 216 (OC'd Core: 650 | Memory: 1100)
Sound: SoundBlaster Audigy SE
 
Hi, I'm the friend with the problem he is referring to. It would be nice if anyone had any idea. I was checking out old fixes through google search but they came across ideas that had to do with old windows registry settings that will not work for any drivers over 100.XX, only old nvidia control panel drivers.

If I reduce the borders myself with nvidia control panel it also reduces the resolution to like 638x426 or some odd resolution like that.

any ideas?
 
Try running the resolution as 720x480 (NTSC) and make sure its interlaced (i), not progressive (P).
