Hi there guys!
I got two problems related to on-screen resolution, and since they're related, I'll post both of them here.
1: I bought a new monitor, my first wide one. I don't know a THING about resolutions for wide screens. After I plugged it, my computer configured it to the highest possible resolution, it being described as "optimal".
Problem: Even if it's the biggest and best selected resolution, my monitor still shows a black border with the desktop image in the center. There's a "gap" between the edge of the image and the edge of the screen.
2: Now on to Dolphin. Before I had that monitor, I just used one of the smallest resolutions just to be sure that I'd be able to play with good FPS. I don't care much about super awesome details, I just want the games to run fine.
I failed to find a resolution for widescreen that didn't stretch the image in any way. IF I could remove the black borders, then I think it would work fine.
When I selected the same resolution my computer had chosen as "optimal", the sprites and graphics seemed right, but quite slow. Which configurations should I edit to fix this?
And now, as info is always needed to help you guys help me, here goes the details:
monitor: Samsung SyncMaster BX2350 - 23" led display. Connected to the computer via a HDMI to DVI cable.
I've installed the calibration program and the plugins [or tried to], but no big changes happened.
computer: i7 950(?) 3.7GHz
8gb RAM
Windows 7 64bits
ATI Radeon HD 4300/4500 Series [temporary for who knows how long]
As you probably have noticed, the reason I was using small resolutions is the graphics card, since I only have it because there is no onboard video adapter on my motherboard. Again, I don't care about pretty graphics, just want the games to run well again :/
