cheapskate ocer Posted June 7, 2007 Posted June 7, 2007 i just got a new card in the mail today, a 7900 gto, and im noticing that the picture seems duller and the words are harder to see and read its just not crisp like before, i put the latest drivers for this card on there. Is it just the card, I had 2 6600GTs in before Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
suedenim Posted June 7, 2007 Posted June 7, 2007 Its likely your GPU config was reset when you installed your GTO. There are plenty of screen calibration tools out there, find one, and tweak your monitor and GPU settings till you get something you like. If you know the make and model of your monitor you can use Powerstrip to give you a good start on your monitors settings. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

ollietwinam Posted June 7, 2007 Posted June 7, 2007 Would changing the graphics card change the ClearType settings in Windows? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Praz Posted June 7, 2007 Posted June 7, 2007 Would changing the graphics card change the ClearType settings in Windows? No but changing the graphics could necessitate the need to change the settings of ClearType. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trevor Posted June 8, 2007 Posted June 8, 2007 Are you running the same resolution/refresh rate as before? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
sailindawg Posted June 8, 2007 Posted June 8, 2007 @ the OP, when you changed out the 2 6600's, did you change all BIOS SLI options back to single card? Also, when you change the cards out, did you clean out the old driver with Driver Cleaner Pro? Whenever I change out cards or drivers, I always uninstall the card, boot to safe mode, clean out the old driver with Driver Cleaner Pro, reboot and install the new driver. As of late, I have have been taking a cue from RGone and after cleaning out the old driver in safe mode, I reboot in safe mod and install the new driver in safe mod, then reboot to windows and set-up the card to my liking. I usually use the nVid CP to add a bit of Digital Vibrance & add a bit more sharpness. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
cheapskate ocer Posted June 10, 2007 Posted June 10, 2007 I got it figured out..my cable to my monitor seems to have some kind of short in it, either that or i didnt have it tight enough, i disconnected and tightened the dvi adapter and monitor cable and its all good, although im still going to sell the card, Im going to get a dx10 card..I can never make up my mind, thanks for the input Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
