Why did my font get so blurry after installing a new video card?

[jaylim0512]

I was using my onboard video which was ATI Radeon HD 4250 build-in 128MB DDR3 1333 SidePort Memory

I tried cleartype and adjusting the resolution. Nothing works.

Why would my text get worse after installing a better graphics card.

I have installed this one:

Any solutions?

Did you enable Morphological filtering in CCC? For whatever reason it does that for me in some programs. I doubt we're talking about the same thing though.

How do i go about doing that? What setting is it under?

 

[livingsacrifice]

Control Panel > Display > Adjust Clear Type Text

Those are the only settings I know of in Windows 7.

Already did that

CCC --> Gaming --> 3D application settings --> Uncheck "Morphological Filtering" box.

See your other thread. Its the hardware acceleration that Firefox 4 and IE use (they both use Window's new hardware accelerated 2D/3D features, which changed quite a bit starting with Vista).

For others I'll copy and paste from the other thread.

You can turn it off in the Options (Options -> Advanced -> General -> Browsing, should be a check box for it).

You can also turn off just the 2D (which seems to fix the text, but will keep the 3D hardware acceleration) by going into the config files.

There's also a tool to adjust Clear-Type, although it didn't help at all with this issue I feel, so I just disabled hardware acceleration for the time being.

What monitor are you using?

I have the horrible blurry/colored text problem with Firefox only. IE9 is golden. This is due to hardware acceleration features implemented in the newer browsers or D2D writes I believe (something like that you can Google it there is a plethora of folks complaining about it).

If your using Firefox just turn it off. It's unfortunate as I'm a FF fan, but have since switched to IE9 because of this one issue. IE9 is pretty nice.
