Completely wrong. The display subsystem decides, based on GPU scaling,
what the display looks like. For ATI, at least the 6850 & Win7, the
default is stretch and there's nothing you can do about it because the
options are grayed out. From ATI, you can only get scaling if you DO
NOT use native resolution.
Check here:

So If I go with a lower resolution than native, I can have scaling,
Whoopie! And here I *thought* ATI had there software act together. The
question here is not whether this is important (it is to me), but why
can Nvidia do it and ATI can't.

You set the games resolution in the game and there should be settings
for 4:3, 16:9 and 16:10. Catalyst has nothing to do with that aspect
of gaming. Nice upgrade you have there but I'm holding out for a 6950
and going to flash it to a 6970.

I went out and got a 6850 to replace a 9600GT. Installed and
running. Now I have one game which I like to play in its native 4:3
display rather than stretched out over the widescreen, which makes
everything look oval and flat. In the Nvidia control panel, you can
let the adapter choose to display the game in native resolution,
rather than converted and stretched. How does one do this with ATI?
I've been through the catalyst control center and I'd have to say I'm
underwhelmed by the lack of settings.
Thanks...Steve
