Okay, so there are probably half a billion forum posts about this issue, but none of them describe the solution that works best, despite acknowledging that it exists:

A few of them mention patching the GPU's vBios to permanently fix the issue (Which is the black borders around the screen at the bios and bootloader). However, none of them describe how to go about doing that. Countless google searches have left me with more posts along the lines of "people have done this but I'm not going to tell you how."
Can anyone describe how to change the scaling option on a GPU directly by flashing the BIOS? Or maybe provide a link to a page that describes it for me?
Thanks in advance
NOTE: My GPU is an EVGA Geforce GTX 660 SC (GK106)
