Problems with AMD catalyst. GPU- AMD 6770m . hp Dv7qte.

[vish92]

Hey Guys!! .. I really need help..Some of my games(particularly counterstrike) doesnt stretch to fit the screen and maintains an aspect ratio of 4:3. I opened my Catalyst only to find out there are no scaling options under "desktop management". Another problem is under Desktop management i see only the option of detecting display manually/automatically but nowhere can I see my Display's properties. Also when i connect my monitor via VGA to the laptop i cannot see its properties as well in catalyst. Recently when i tried to play Need For Speed : The Run(its the same with other games) ,i wasn't getting any option to play at 75 hz or higher refresh rate. All the available resolutions were fixed @ 60hz where as my monitor is capable of 120 hz. I cant even find anywhere in catalyst the "manually detect display" button. When i have my monitor connected to the laptop both the displays are on. Shouldn't the laptop's display go off to avoid putting unnecessary load on the GPU? Can someone check this in their laptop and tell me the results? PLEASE help me .. Its really bugging me.
Thanks in Advance!!

My laptop is a Dv7tqe with 2gb 6770 and 1080p display.
Just for Info 6770m gives constant 30fps for NFS Run.
BTW i have tried the new performance driver 11.11 c from AMD and its works fine with our laptop. Although 3-4 fps dropped while playing NFS after the driver Update so i rolled backed. but u guys can try this driver with other games and see if there are any positive results

Download the fix from this link. I've tried it, and it's works on almost all systems. Run it as Admin, and use the "Scale image to panel size" option.

I'd suggest you try using the options provided by Win7 itself. They're easier. Right click on desktop, go to Screen Resolution, and configure from there. Should help.

ust for Info 6770m gives constant 30fps for NFS Run.

NFS Run has the FPS locked at 30. So there's no difference btwn a HD6990 and HD6770M for this game. You can run at Ultra easily.
