Software apps in Windows 7 all blurry

Okay, I've just encounter this problem all of a sudden itas been pissing on my nerves.

For some odd reason, all software on my win 7 pc is all blurry like.

How do I fix it? I've tried things like, adjust clear text (no luck), disable Morpshilogcially filtering in AMD Catalyst control center. (its already off, so way that's the problem).

I am fresh out of ideas.

as you can see, even text in amd center is blurry. wtf...
also, weird as well: whenever I move the mouse cursor over anything, it turns blurry... how?!
 
Are you using HDMI?

In CC in the monitor section there's an option for 0 -> 10% overscan, HDMI for me needs it to set to 10% to get it non blurry whereas DP/DVI works fine by default.
 
seems to me like an issue between the video card and the display. Can you swap connections to VGA or DVI, just to confirm the problem goes away and is only due to the HDMI?

Yes I'm using HDMI. but it looks like the overscan is from 15% (underscan) to 0% (overscan)

Just change those settings it should help with the blurry image.

There's another option which I did encounter once, I had a generic HDMI cable and it would give me blurry ouputs, nothing I could do to fix it until I plugged in a different cable. 🙂
 
Is this problem at the desktop? Looking at the 1st pic, it looks as if it is just within the program you are running, but not on the Windows bar.
 
Doesn't look like you are running a super high resolution, but you can right click the app's exe to bring the property settings. Check the "Disable display scaling on high DPI settings" under the compatibility tab.
 
HDMI is simply broken on a lot of displays. Its like it gets internally rescaled or something.
 
I'll bet it's that wide-tent anti-aliasing being applied to the app. Try turning off anti-aliasing completely.
 
this image is exactly what I'm talking about:

Yes! its only within the programs only! specially 3ds Max and my level editor (as shown above).

The ""Disable display scaling on high DPI settings"" is already checked and didn't do anything. 🙁

^ No? No. HDMI plug perfectly, I've tested it on another pc, PS4 and xbox using this same monitor and its perfect.

everything EXPECT for the programs: 3ds max and my level editor (shown in this post) are having this problem.

this I haven't tried yet. I'll hope it works.

EDIT: tried it, didn't work... dern.... 🙁 dern, dern...

Interesting. If is just that program have you tried to contact the company for support? They might what's causing it, since is specific to that software.
 
It obviously some sort of driver bug, or some sort of override setting which is messing up the 3D rendering, and anything which uses 3D rendering to render special text effects.

I wonder if it is the texture filter override - this can easily mess up layered composite images where text overlays are drawn on top of a 3D image, or where multiple render passes are used.

I was developing a medical imaging app, and these type of overrides completely screw the program up - it would be great to run it on consumer level cards, but the capability of driver settings to completely screw up the app is a problem.

I would suggest that in AMD CCC you set all the system settings "to use application settings" - don't override anything. You can use the individual application settings to override specific applications which benefit from tweaking.

this I tried, before realizing it was the Anti Aliasing "Wide-tent" causing the problem. so I just kept AA off. it things are back to normal.

thank-you everyone for all your help! 😀
