Dracion1 Posted July 31, 2008 Share Posted July 31, 2008 I've recently installed and been using my new Nvidia Geforce 8600GT graphics card with great results. All my games now run on highest settings, and with a high frame rate. However, the picture on my screen is no longer as sharp as it used to be. Kind of hard to describe because screenshots don't work for this, but it's a similar problem when you set a high resolution screen to a lower resolution than it is designed for (Eg, using 1024*768 on a screen which supports 1280*1024). Some of the pixels around text seem to be blurred. Changing the refresh rate hasn't made any difference. Any way I can fix this? Specs: Nvidia Geforce 8600GT 512MB 19" flat panel VGA connector, using 1280*1024 (Maximum resolution). "In the beginning, the universe was created.

eggzs Posted July 31, 2008 Share Posted July 31, 2008 what resolution are the games at? Usually its because the games resolution is below the monitors native res. so crank it up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dracion1 Posted July 31, 2008 Author Share Posted July 31, 2008 I always have the resolution set to 1280*1024, or as close to that as any application, though mainly games, will allow. It's not just games though, it's on the desktop as well. "In the beginning, the universe was created. This has made a lot of people very angry and been widely regarded as a bad move."

D. V. Devnull Posted August 1, 2008 Share Posted August 1, 2008 Dracion1, I'm assuming you have a "NVidia Settings" Tray Icon??? :-s If so, right-click it, and call up "NVIDIA Control Panel", put it in Advanced Mode, and go to "Display > Adjust desktop color settings"... You will find what you're looking for, "Image Sharpening", as well as other stuff, all in that interface. :) Good luck to you on fixing that sharpness problem. 8-) ~D. V.

Dracion1 Posted August 2, 2008 Author Share Posted August 2, 2008 I took a look at that but unfortunately, it's greyed out: I'm beginning to suspect the problem may be to do with anti aliasing, although I'm not 100% sure.

Dracion1 Posted August 4, 2008 Author Share Posted August 4, 2008 Problem seems to be rectifying itself day by day as the screen gets less blurry. This can be locked.
