just to note that every DxDiag uploaded here of people that having a problem there is 1 thing the same.
they all have a procesor with an intergrated GFX cip.
some quick testing with 2 diffrent processors and same system seem to point to that this is the problem.
not 100% sure but i think you need to look in that direction

Good thought, but look at almost ALL current intel processors - they have integrated graphics built in. I expect your point isn't necessarily that it is the presence of the chip, but that most of these systems are utilizing that integrated graphics and another discrete chip, such as an nvidia 860m(in my case). This has been stated a few times before, when posters are referring to optimus systems. That is a system that will automatically(or manually, in some cases) choose between the two different graphics systems.
For more information:

In particular, it seems that when using optimus and specific hardware combinations, the user loses the ability to do display scaling. For example, the intel hd 4600 would offer display scaling as an option, but it is "greyed out". The 860m by nvidia would offer the same function, but it is not an option in the selection trees of the nvidia control panel.
Basically, I/we should be able to fix this problem, but we can't because both Nvidia and Intel have decided to not allow me to tweak this function. Kind of a perfect storm sort of situation.
In summation.. well, all of the above is in the rest of the thread, if people would just read it. Hopefully they will read this and not just re-discover what has already been figured out.
