You probably have to add 1920x1080 to snap with x:\snap\gamode.exe, 
something like gamode.exe add 1920 1080 32, perhaps with the [device] 
also as a parameter, you'll need to figure out the device name from the 
settings window or one of the other command line programs.
Running the individual programs with no parameters will give you help 
which if needed you can pipe through more, gamode | more
