This "bug" has been present in the last 4 or 5 driver sets that I know of, and probably far beyond that.

If you want to have a scaling option like "aspect scaling" enabled and save it to a profile so that you can toggle back and forth between multimonitor, eyefinity, single monitor or any other configuration.

Every time it will default back to "stretch to fit" no matter what your selection is, or how you save your profile.

I personally hate this and must have aspect scaling on. So every single time I change my profile I have to go manually into the CCC and change it back.


This is where the second problem comes into play.

I have no clue why but the scaling options are all greyed out and not able to be changed when your at your desktops native resolution, in my case 1920x1200.

So to enable them you must first change the resolution to a lower one, accept the change, and then go to the scaling options, and then go back and change your resolution back again.

This is so annoying. I was very happen when they got profiles working with eyefinity but with this problem I still am basically having to go into the CCC every time to do things.

While I am at it I may as well mention one more thing that sort of bugs me.

To change these settings in the CCC first you have to go to the desktop & display section, then from there you can right click on the monitor in the display area, or the monitors listed on the bottom. In doing this you get two totally separate sets of options. You can only change the resolution for instance if you click on the monitor image but say you want to change the color temp of your monitor (to fix the pink tint issue maybe in some of the new drivers) you have to click on the monitor list at the bottom.

I think all options should be present no matter what you choose to click on to make things easier and more streamlined.

I find in order to use scaling options, you have to set your desktop resolution to a non-native resolution.
But even worst, that you can only get stretched to fit when using eyefinity (or grouped monitors in general). Which is dumb, because I have some games that only play in 4:3.

I play starcraft 2 in 16:9 instead of 16:10 on a single monitor with the other 2 deactivated and it lets me use aspect scaling. I just have to jump through all those loops I mentioned.

On another note 10.12 is out today/soon and totally revamped the CCC wonder if it fixed anything or it was just a interface lift.
