I have a computer I use for a HTPC with SageTV. I had been using a geforce 2 mx and the tv out was pretty good. I used TV-Tool to zoom the picture to fill the whole tv screen.

I bought a albatron gf 6200 so I could use VMR 9 and direct x 9 acceleration but the TV out is bad.

Tv-Tool will not work with it and there are about a 1/2" line going around the whole tv.
The picture is not filling up the TV.

Is there anyway I can get the picture to fill up the TV?
Thanks

Are you using S-Video or Component?

Just picked up the same card and I'm using component and can fill the screen but I get a bit of overscan. S-video at NTSC-M resolution / 800x600 seemed to fill the whole screen though...but quality wasn't the greatest. I can only use 480I with the component connection for some reason. I think some of the newer drivers may limit the overscan abilities so I may revert to older ones if I get a chance to play with it.

I have heard that overscan options were better in the 77.72 release version so you may want to try those drivers out.

I don't think TV Tool is compatible with the newer chips...
