Default Resolution Issue

Hello, I think this is the correct place for this, but I could be wrong. So I got a dvi-hdmi cable to plug my computer to my tv. Now I can't set the correct resolution, wants to input 1920x1080 but it's only a 720p tv. Before when I was using the hdmi-vga converter, it would input the correct resolution. I think it's 1366x768 or something and it was nice clear. I tried setting the custom resolution to that, but the quailty on the tv still isn't good. looks a tad distorted and the text isn't clear. is there any way, other than custom resolution to get this back to normal? Thanks in advance, Gavin.

What OS? Have you tried adjusting the ClearType settings?

Do you have the proper SLi drivers? Are the cards SLi?
