Skyrim 4k screen being cut off halfway at high res!

[Pat3232]

Yeah I have been trying to get my skyrim to run at 4k for ages now but the higher I set the resolution the more the screen is cut off cant seem to find a solution anywhere I have a phillips phl bdm 4065 screen and have never had a problem like this

This game, or your video card can't handle that.

 

This game resolution setting must be the same as the monitor you're using.

 

I do have this issue with a different game. All I can do is set the resolution one setting lower.

i have a gtx 1080 and a pretty new and powerful rig and it doesnt matter what resolution i set it to i always get some form of letterbox so I dont think that is the problem

i play on a Sony bravia 4k screen with a 3840 x 2160 resolution and i had the same problem:)

I experienced this same exact issue and I think I'm literally the only person in the world who figured out the solution. Shame on whomever thinks that video card being not powerful enough can cause screen cropping issues; that makes zero logical sense.

 

This is a rare issue because it only happens in specific circumstances, usually upgrading to a higher-resolution monitor. Somehow something in Skyrim still assumes you're still using your old resolution. Therefore in Borderless Window mode, your old resolution will appear as full screen. What fixed it was to launch once with borderless/window both UNCHECKED, then this somehow resets Skyrim to know your new native resolution; then you can check it again and launch in 4k.
