    I have an AMD 6770m in my laptop, but when i play games at lower resolution under my native 1080p, the games play with black bars and do not scale to full screen. How do i fix this? I am using Catalyst Versian 11.7b

    I'll tell you same thing I told you on PCH...

    Pick a 16:9 resolution.

    So which resolution are you playing on? The dynamic switchable graphics CCC is pretty limited.

    You're sure you set the game to the dedicated card in the catalyst control panel? What game is it?
    I'm playing 1600x900 on Mirror's Edge I don't get this. Even with 1366x768 in Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood, Battlefield: Bad Company 2 and Starcraft 2, no black bars.

    I'm using 11.7. Did you uninstall the old drivers first before applying the new version or did you install over the old ones?
