MSI 7970

[snips86x]

I've installed my new MSI 7970 and for the mean time, only using 1 screen as the resolution through the HDMI lead does not fill my 24" monitor, regardless of what I try. I get a 2" black border.

The HDMI on my 22" is fine through a DVI-D > HDMI adapter, but not when using the HDMI lead to my primary 24". DVI-D is fine on the 24".

What would cause this and since my card only has 1 DVI-D port, would it be better to use a mini-display port to DVI adapter or the HDMI?

In CCC, look under "My Digital Flat-Panels" and locate the page for "Scaling Options (Digital Flat-Panel)". Set the slider to 0% and you should find the black bars around your HDMI screen disappear.

oh, nice one. Thanks - Sorry, this is my first AMD card, wish I'd changed sooner.

What would you recommend to the adapter option or will another HDMI be ok once this border has been sorted?

HDMI will be fine once you set the scaling.
