GeForce 8 Series Image Sharpening

I've already gone to the questions/answers board on the Nvidia website where Nvidia stated that 8 series cards do not support Image Sharpening ... which was really a bummer for me because one reason I fell in love with Nvidia cards over ATI years ago was because of how much better everything looks when you sharpen the image.

I just got my 8800 GTS yesterday and it rox but I was wondering if there is a driver work around, or a driver in the future or something that can allow image sharpening without voiding my warranty

maybe it's a hardware thing - in which case, if it is then that sux, because I just *assumed* that this Geforce would have Image Sharpening like all the old cards did

Performance is great, but image looks like crap compared to before - at least on the desktop that is, and in my non-game applications. I don't really play games much - I use 3d applications such as Blender and Maya and now the interface looks much uglier than before which really is a bummer.

You'll get no argument from me. I miss image sharpening too. I am using an older CRT (Sony Trinitron 19"). It's still a fine monitor but hard to look at text after a long day at work staring at a crisp LCD.

 


They didn't get rid of Image Sharpening. Go to nVidia Control Panel -> Display -> Adjust Desktop Color Settings

The slider is ghosted out, can't adjust it.
