This is overscan (well underscan in your case). Go to Catylist Control Centre, then Scaling section on the left, then... The sub menu with the slider and slide The slider to the right until your whole screen is used and hit that apply button! Make sure you then set your monitor to 50hz and do the same process, and them put back to 60hz. as some games are 50hz only.

tried opening catalyst control centre, select 'digital flat panels' and then scaling options and make sure underscan-overscan is set to 0% or play with it till image fills screen?

edit: yup, what he said^^

quick question aswell when i go to device manager and under display adapters it says AMD radeon HD 7800 series is this correct? I thought it would be a bit more specific ? like AMD HD 7870 ? maybe VTX3D 7870 ?
