    This has happened randomly since day 1 but I thought I was just being paranoid. This is happening and makes no sense. Certain times when booting up the PC it'll be really slow. It'll take longer to load programs. Clocks still check out normally. Nothing using abnormal amounts of CPU/RAM or anything like that. It gets even weirder because launching a game works but it is in some "gimped" mode. ACU for example normally runs in the upper 30's for me. It was running around 20fps. Almost like it was in reduced mode. Again, I don't get it. Reboot and all is well. Not sure if it has something to do with the Gigabyte software maybe? Any ideas?

    Might just be certain games. Looks like in some games I need to set fullscreen windowed to get it to scale properly otherwise I need to set it to Fullscreen. Windowed drops fps 10-15 lower. I can't understand why there isn't a perm solution to scaling issues on the QHD and up displays. Seems ridiculous that Windows and games can't handle it. Desktop is set to 1080p @ 60hz. Game is set to the same, it still doesn't scale right. If I change the hz to 40 or 48 it works, sometimes, somtimes I can even get 60hz full screen, not always. No rhyme or reason. Seems like driver bugs.


    UPDATE:

    SOLUTION!?!?!?!?!?

    Updated to latest Intel Graphics since the IGPU is what handles the scaling. A new option appeared under the Intel Graphics Properties control panel called "Maintain Aspect Ratio" switched to that and it seems to be working fine!

    Here's the newest Intel drivers that are working as of this post https://downloadcenter.intel.com/Detail_Desc.aspx?DwnldID=24596&lang=eng&ProdId=3720
