Scaling options in Nvidia CP for the Samsung 2233rz
1 / 2
I see these options are gone from the Nvidia CP. There used to be several options in adjust desktop size and position if not mistaken. There were at least two options: no scaling, and aspect ratio scaling. Are these deliberately taken out by nvidia, is there a reason for this happening?

You may have figured this out already, but for anyone wandering in who's having the same problem, see below.
If scaling options aren't showing up on the NVIDIA control panel, chances are that your monitor has its own scaling settings and the NCP can't do anything to override them. So your only option is to set the scaling on your monitor to auto (or something similar to bounce between aspect ratios instead of stretching the image out to fullscreen).
On newer model Samsung monitors, you can find this option in the Size & Position menu option of the monitor under "Image Size". If it's set to Wide, then it will force everything to go fullscreen. If you set it to auto, then it will detect when a 4:3 resolution is being used and will letterbox on the sides accordingly. Hope this helps.

This may be the case for some monitors but definitely not the Samsung 2233RZ. I have this monitor and have also lost the scaling options in the control panel with recent driver releases, but had them there and working with an earlier driver version (can't recall what the last working version was).

I have my display in auto, and any resolution just scales to fullscreen. Nvidia please fix this in your drivers.

Thanks for reply andrew. If my memory do not fail, I remember this option in the nvidia control panel using my Samsung 2233rz and past drivers some months ago. This option also was present in the Nvidia CP with other monitor I had before, with the condition that I had to use DVI cable, not VGA (this option was woking also without any hardware scaler option in the OSD).

Hi
The Samsung doesnt have a scalar, so if the option appeared in a control panel, it was a bug.

Agreed. There definitely used to be working scaling options for the 2233RZ. To clarify, one of the scaling options available kept the DVI output of the graphics card at the monitors native resolution (1680x1050) with the driver filling in black the pixels beyond the games resolution. This effectively centred the game image in the middle of the monitor with black borders to the left, right, top and bottom. While the monitor is not scaling the image it receives (it always receives 1680x1050 pixels) this setting was one of the options under "monitor scaling" (or words to that effect) in some earlier drivers.
Here is a link to a screenshot of the Nvidia driver screen (albeit a very old driver version - the same functionaltiy was available in much more recent drivers until some time last year).
