I am testing Windows 7 RC1 and am getting overscan on my Westinghouse LVM-37W3, fed by an XFX 7600GS video card using driver provided by Microsoft.

Anyway to correct this?

If not, is overscan common to all Nvidia cards? ATI cards?

And what passively cooled card (preferably with dvi and hdmi, low profile a plus, but not necessary) would be recommended for Windows 7 for htpc and general purpose computing?

ATI and and nVIDIA drivers all provide overscan adjustment in their Control Panels, you may need to install official drivers from the manufacturer instead of the Microsoft update pulled ones.

I personally use 780G with a ASUS EAH4350 Silent. I has both DVI and HDMI.. though I don't think they're available anymore.

I like ATI cards simply because I can feed it into my AV receiver and get sound from it also without having too many cords on it.
