    since nvidia took away scaling options and insisted users do the scaling on the device they are using for better performance but some devices dont have scaling features so nvidia screwed over a lot of users.. anyway the only work around i know is to create a custom resolution and set your own scale... i dont know how you originally had this working before you upgraded perhaps you were using a modded version of drivers?
