I like playing old games, which run in any resolution less than my native one, which is 1920*1080, and most likely in 4:3 format.
While my ATI Radeon HD 6850 now supposedly supports GPU upscaling, while keeping the expected aspect ratio, it doesn't seem to work. Ever.
I know it was completely broken until about half a year ago, but now the CCC suggests that it should work, by offering buttons and checkboxes to enable it.
So, when I check all the boxes, how do I make it actually happen? Having the GPU upscale any resolution less than the native one, and keeping the aspect ratio? Does it require black magic and hacking?
Do I need to buy a new GPU? Which one is certified to actually do it?
Edit: as to why I want it: the last two (and my current) monitors (actually large LCD-TV's) tend to refuse, distort or clip anything smaller than about 1024*768 (which they stretch and distort to full-screen), making it hard or impossible to play the games.
