Ok, as some of you know, ATi cards have a few issues when it comes to HDTV support. Usually it has to do with scaling for most customers, and giving black borders with certain games, even when you set up the over/underscan properly.
After much testing I've discovered the cause of this phenomenon is actually because the games can't read the multiple 1080 resolutions, and as such certain games revert to the first 1080 they pick up, being 1080i as it's first in the list. As each HDTV setting requires it's own scaling set up, it ends up with the black bars once again until you edit that.
What I need done is simple, remove the entire ability for 1080i from the driver list. That way, 1080p will be what all the games see. That simple.
It'll fix the longest running ATi bug ever.
