SWTOR Streched Graphics

Hello everyone! I've been experiencing a strange issue ever since I upgraded my videocard, from GTX 570 to GTX 1060. Basically, the graphics of everything except the UI - menus, quickbars, etc - a...

    What occurs if you deselect all the 4:3 aspects and just leave only the 1280 x 1024 5:4 aspect

    given your running a 2600k with an nvidia 1060 video card, the gfx would look better on a newer monitor if that is an option, this would fix 2 birds with one stone so to speak, and would do away with the adapter back to HD15 altogether

Thanks for the reply. Enabling DSR and tinkering with the resolutions only resulted in the rest of the 1280xSomething resolutions becoming stretched the same way the1280x1024 is. I'm guessing doing a fresh re-install of the nVidia drivers will get things back to normal i.e. proper aspect ratio but with black lines above and below the picture.

Could it be possible that I'm using the CRU wrong? Is there anything else that needs to be done besides disabling all the resolutions I don't use and using the "restart" script?

There is a box called detailed resolutions this should list the native resolution/aspect

recommend using ddu to remove the video driver

    I see. Now I noticed that the native refresh rate is only 60 Hz, while I have set it to 75 Hz through the nVidia Control Panel and the Display Advanced settings. You think that may be causing an issue?

    Also, I've added a screenshot of what the CRU is showing me for the display profile that I use (I reverted all the changes I made btw), if you could have a glance and tell me if I could change anything without potentially damaging the monitor, that would be greatly appreciated.

        No change again when I deselect all of the other available resolutions. As for changing my monitor - I'm in the process of upgrading the entirety of my PC, monitor included. Unfortunately, someone decided that things that perform good need to be expensive, so I thought I may as well try any software options first, since they're free. Oh well. I'll just wait a couple of months until I replace my current monitor. Thanks for offering guidance though. Hopefully someone will come across this thread if he has the same issue, and who knows - maybe he'll be luckier than I was.
