I recently upgraded my graphics card from a Radeon R7770 to a NVIDIA GTX 770 and no matter what settings I change, any time I start playback in XBMC, the screen goes black for a few seconds and the screen is zoomed in. I have verified that this behavior also happens in Windows Media Center, so it is the GPU driver and not only in XBMC.
This brought back memories to years ago before when I had an older NVIDIA card and had these issues and I think my only solution was to use a super old driver (which I don't want to use now because I want to use my HTPC to game as well). Has anyone encountered this and was able to find a solution?
To be clear, the resolution and scaling is 100% correct even when opening XBMC but then once playback begins for any movie or TV show the screen scales and shows only a portion of the viewable area. Once playback stops, the resolution and scaling goes back to normal.
My HTPC is connected via HDMI to a Sony XBR6 HDTV with pass-through through a AV receiver (the PC recognizes and identifies the Sony TV).
