| Hi JP.. Bad news.. while testing it, I think I blew my video card.. :shock: Haha.. ok, nothing so drastic, but using a VGA-DVI adapter doesn't fool the computer.. it detects it as a VGA connection, and as such, it doesn't give you the ratio centering/scaling options in the driver.

| The 1:1 option with an nvidia card is not dependant on your monitor as far as I've seen. ATI CCC only supports video scaling on their high-end cards. I had this exact problem.
