PNY 6800 2D looks terrible

Returned the PNY 6800 /128Mb and got a PNY 6800 GT. 2D looks alot better now. It's comparable to my old GF Ti4200 2D. Gained a few fps in 1024x768 on Doom3. $100 = 8fps. lol Anyway, I'm happy with the new card. No more eye strain.

PNY 6800 2D looks terrible

Well, I think I'm going to keep it. Looks pretty good now. I just unchecked the the box that says "Use the following method to smooth edges of screen fonts" under display properties->appearance->Effects. This made things alot better. It's still not as good as my 4200, but it's not...

PNY 6800 2D looks terrible

Hey keysplayr2003, that actually did make a big difference. Got rid of the flat panel on wrong res look. That was the setting I was looking for. It still doesn't look quite clean, but I'm gonna try a few more things and see if I can get it to look right. I'll hold off the Compusa trip...

PNY 6800 2D looks terrible

Yep, I'm thinking about doing that. Maybe get a x800 since they only have PNY at Compusa and I've gone through 2 of them already. Gonna try to get store credit since it's been over 14 days. Saw a couple other threads on the net about blurry text. Might be due to low quality DAC. Thx...

PNY 6800 2D looks terrible

Well, Updated my motherboard bios, and 4 in 1 drivers. No change. I get the feeling that Nvidia or PNY is trying to smooth the text on the screen, but this is giving the text a blurry effect. I looked all through the nView uitility, but didn't find anything about smoothing the text. Any...

PNY 6800 2D looks terrible

Tried tighening the monitor cable connection. No dice. The text looks somehow fatter than it should. Looks like I'm running on a non native mode on a TFT screen(or whatever those thin screens are called). I'm beginning to think that PNY sucks too. Anyone else have any suggestions? I...

PNY 6800 2D looks terrible

Hi, I have the PNY 6800 with 128Mb ram. 3D is awesome. I can do Doom 3 maxed at 1024x768 with no slow downs. Graphics look great. 2D however is terrible. Can't get the card to show clean text at any resolution above 1024x768. At 1024x768 it isn't that great either. The text is blurry...

Will your next monitor purchase be an LCD monitor?

I thought the LCD monitors have only one resolution(native resolution) where everything looks crisp. At all other resolutions it get fuzzy. I'm gonna hold off until that is fixed.

when you first put the system together...

I usually put the CPU and memory on first. Then I'll install the mobo. After that I connect all drives, and then I install all cards. I guess you can do it in any order, but it's much easier to put the CPU on before you put in the mobo.

Viewsonic 19" Flat Screen Question

Hi, I have a Viewsonic PF790 refurbed monitor that I bought from Fry's for $300. I think there's something wrong with it, but I'm not sure. If I set the background to black and turn off the lights in my room, the background looks brownish. Also when I start up the computer after the monitor...

Almost the same thing happened to me. After I put some ram in my basket and clicked to check out, it asked for my login. The login page came up with some guy's login name already on the page. I neglected it and went on with my business. I didn't buy, but I updated my cc info. That's pretty...
