Trying to force 4K on a game that has issues in 4K

I'm trying to record some 4K gameplay of the PC port of Shaun White Skateboarding for a video. I know it's not an old old game but I'm not sure where else I could make a thread like this. So basically, whenever I run the game at 4K, the UI doesn't scale properly. https://i.imgur.com/2J6MegC.png …

Late but that didn't help me unfortunately. It still outputs 1080i.

Is there any other solution to this without getting an EDID emulator? Still somewhat having this problem from time to time as of 1-9-21. A friend of mine is having a similar issue with his XP rig.

I took the "easy" hardware way out, I admit, so I did not have to fight with driver issues . If you decide to take the hardware EDID emulator route, be sure to get one that is USB programmable . Most of the common units, including mine, only allow cloning an EDID from an existing monitor . The …

One way around driver EDID issues is using an EDID emulator with a custom EDID . That's the solution I amusing for my retro machine. If I don't use a custom EDID on my Acer VW257 1920x1200 monitor, I don't even get a picture when running an FX 5900 under Windows 98 SE . All the custom EDID does in …

Yeah I did that just incase the NVCP was being the NVCP but I have the same problem when I run it though the Windows control panel. I'm able to select 32/16 bit its just when I select 16 bit it has that scaling bug.

Having an issue with Windows and it's really starting to piss me off. So I create a custom resolution, 1600x1200, 32 bit colors. Works fine! Then I play an old game that can only output at 16 bit. Whenever it outputs 16 bit, it's outputting 1080i/p, and it's zoomed in and scaled like its the Windows …

Another update: using my on board audio works fine. Guess it's a card issue. Gonna pick up a Titanium and probably save this card for digital audio capture through Toslink. Thanks for the help everyone!

Get these ram from ebay, any of of these; your third-party memory could be failing giving problems. This is reason why I refuse to purchase gamers' memory, I use these OEM brands exclusively in my computers and had no issues. The PC did come with 4GB of Hynix DDr2 667MHZ ram, just swapped the …

Just a final update, I said screw and bought another Dell. Core 2 Quad, same GPU, PSU, and RAM since I just swapped it out from the old one. It performs much much better. I do have some issues though. I got a sound card, an X-Fi Xtreme. Pretty good card. Tried out FarCry and for the life of me, …
