Hello good folks, I have a U2711 and no matter what I do I cannot get above 1920x1080p, or get the screen image to fill the whole screen, system as in sig. Ihave two other rigs her at the moment both with 5870`s and they show the full resolution. Beyond hardware I am an idiot so please can someone suggest anything my inferior brain has already done thank you

1920*1200 is the biggest "standard" resolution you can push through a single link dvi cable at 60Hz with 24 bits per pixel. Know what cable your using?
Alternatively you could use a display port cable.

Thank you for replying, Have tried all the cables, tried fill on the monitor, rolled back ATI drivers and still sitting there only covering three quarters of the screen and stuck at 1920x1080p, whereas on the other rigs it covers all the screen at runs at full resolution on ATI 10.3, Thank you again
hmm not too sure about the cable theory, as i run a 2560 x 1600 on a single cable no problems, have you tried your screen settings as in 16:9 or 16:10 as i found that to get my highest res i had to change to 16:10, was 16:9 as standard, hope this helps

It isn't the cable per se, it is single vs dual-dvi.
(Single) 1920 × 1200 @ 60 Hz
(Dual) 2560 × 1600 @ 60 Hz
Sorry for not getting back but, grandson spilt fizzy drink on his new keyboard. I am out of ideas on this one. The only difference between my rig and the one that works fine is the mobo mine is as you can see the other is a P6T Deluxe V2, even the GPU`s are both sapphire 5870 thank you anyway.
have you tried using a HDMI cable and seeing how if the resolution can be set using that? I have no idea why a mobo would cause this, especially as everything else is identical. Unless there is a setting on one pc / monitor to the other set that you havent done, or changed by mistake? What about forcing it into a higher res, in my CCC there is an option to add new resolutions not broadcast by the monitor
HDMI is limited to a single DVI lane, so that will definatly not work.
It needs display port or dual link DVI .
A DVI cable can be identified by looking at the plug, if there seems to be a couple of pin rows missing in the middle, it's single link, if the plug has a single large block of pins, it's most likely dual link. (some illustrations: http://www.datapro.net/techinfo/dvi_info.html)
