I'm using

"Bustas Enthusiast Config"
Portions Derived from the CCC 2.21 LV 4 config

and although the graphics look great, I do get screendoor effect on the whole screen.

what's causing it?

and Im getting only 15~30fps @ 1680x1050 with it. oh well.

Do you have an IPS monitor?

IPS panels suffer more from SDE (screen door effect), a phenomenon in which your eyes are able to visualize all the individual pixels on the screen. In this way, they can cause more eye strain. This isn't an issue for the majority of users, and may only happen when working with text or other light-background material. Their brightness is typically somewhere between that of TNs and VAs, but variants such as AS-IPS can offer white levels of up to 470 nits and lifelike, vibrant colors. In most cases however, this maximum brightness does not indicate a usable value. Their grayscale reproduction must be sacrificed at somewhere over 300 nits. Unfortunately their availability is extremely limited, and prices are soaring. It is expected that they will soon disappear into a pro-only market carrying a hefty premium with their price tags.

nonono, its not the issue with the monitor but the crysis. I think its just some tweaks for the config that I'm using that's supposed to give more performance. not too annoying, just noticeable.
