So i have my 7870 connected to my TV through hdmi and it gives a black border around the edge, easily fixed through the amd catalyst control centre by setting overscan to 0

However whenever i play a game the black border returns, i followed this guide http://www.ryukent.com/2011/01/black-border-problem-using-hmdi-overscan-underscan-with-amd-card/ but it still shows a black border in games.

Anyone got a fix for this as its driving me crazy, i have been changing settings for 3 days now and nothing seems to work :mad:
 
Yeah i can do that it zooms in a little bit but still leaves a small border, its a workaround but its not ideal, when i exit out of games all my icons are off screen and i have to change it again.
 
My TV is a panasonic TX-P50G20BA, i checked the overscan in the menu and it is turned off, reading through the link now, not sure if i want to mess with registry keys, don't really now how lol
 
I have tried all the HDMI ports on the TV, black borders with all of them, the TV has a VGA socket, this shows full screen in games but it is very low res.

Do you think this cable might fix the problem, i am getting very annoyed now :mad: lol

YOUR BASKET
1 x OcUK Value 3m DVI to HDMI Gold Plated Cable (CDLDV-303) £7.99
Total : £11.90 (includes shipping : £3.26).

 
When i use the VGA cable the res won't go above 1024x768, i just tried it on my samsung wich is downstairs and that does run in 1080p through the VGA cable, with no black borders, but thats not the TV i want to use lol
