Nvidia cards - Can you set 1:1 pixel mapping

I have a BenQ BL2411PT 1920x1200 monitor with an NVidia 1070.

When I run a game in full screen at say 1920x1080 I want black lines top/bottom, not for it to be stretched.

Any idea how I do this?


Note: One of the reason I'm looking to do this is I notice in shadowplay:-
1) If I'm running fullscreen (1920x1200) it then records at 1728x1080
2) If I run in a Windows (bordered or borderless) Shadowplay refuses to record.
 
In nVidia Control Panel - Display - Adjust desktop size and position on the Scaling tab set it to "No scaling". This should achieve the 1:1 pixel mapping.

That what I've tried already...

When I try games (full screen) say at 1920x1080, they appear full screen on my monitor. Even crazy resolutions like 640x480 in Elite Dangerous fills my monitor!?

Try changing "Perform scaling on" between Display and GPU (Display is usually better) you might need to adjust something in the monitor OSD as well as some will force aspect ratios, etc. or might be lacking the ability to do any scaling whatsoever.
 
Seems to be working if I set both the monitors to:-
Scaling Mode: No Scaling
Perform Scaling On: GPU


Shame I can't record in 1920x1200 :(
