15" 2015 MacBook Pro - Win 8.1 - No 1440x900 resolution option
Hello everyone,
I'm running Boot Camp (Windows 8.1) on my new 2015 MacBook Pro with the AMD R9 M370X. The Retina display is 2880x1800 natively, and unfortunately the HiDPI settings in Windows are really poorly implemented. I do not mind running at half resolution for Windows games and such, but the option to run 1440x900 isn't an option in the Screen Resolution settings. Closest I can get is 1280x800, which results in a somewhat blurry image.
Attempting to update AMD drivers results in a message that I don't have any compatible AMD hardware installed. Maybe the R9 M370X is not supported by AMD yet? Maybe available resolutions defined in the driver used for the monitor? (Mine shows up as "Generic PnP Monitor")
As a result of this, Windows games will not allow me to switch to 1440x900 because it's not defined by the system as an available mode.
How can I get it there?
Thanks!

By the way-- Windows 10 has much better HiDPI implementation than 8.1, however it won't matter if the system doesn't report 1440x900 as an available mode.
