    I have started to do some benchmarking of my new Sager NP8662 notebook. In doing so, for non-native benchmarks like 3DMark06 and 3DMark Vantage, I select the "Use nVidia scaling with fixed aspect ratio" in the nVidia Control Panel. When I click apply it reverts back to "use my display's built-in scaling".

    If I reduce my resolution, I can change it to "fixed aspect" and "display scaling" is grayed out. But as soon as I switch back to native resolultion, it defaults to the "display scaling" again.

    I am currently using the latest WHQL at nVidia 186.81 for 64-bit Windows 7.

    Anyone know of a fix for this?

    Hmmm, odd. If I switch to a lower resolution and change it to aspect scaling, 3DMark06 seems to scale properly. Vantage does not. I'll have to mess with it some more.
