I just upgraded from a GeForce2 MX 400 card to a GeForce 6200. My monitor is a Samsung 900NF aperture grille CRT. Now, for the first time, I'm seeing what I think is ghosting -- in high-contrast areas, like large black type on a white background, I'm seeing a faint shadow offset to the right a bit. For example, if I turn up my browser font size and look at the word "Web," I can see a very faint couple of marks to the right of the word that echo the right edge of the letter b. Plus, small text is a little messed up (reminds me of running the sharpen filter in Photoshop once too many times).
If I uninstall the Nvidia drivers and use the standard VGA driver, the ghosting disappears, but no way am I willing to run my 19" CRT at 800x600 and a 60hz refresh rate. Yow.
If I use the Nvidia drivers and dial my settings down to 800x600, the ghosting disappears.
If I run at my preferred settings of 1152x864 (or higher) and 85hz (or higher), the ghosting is there.
I don't know much about video, but I tried the take-a-stab-at-it things... tweaked all the monitor settings, ran through some stuff on Tweakguide.com, messed with the Forceware settings, disabled fast writes in BIOS, even turned my AGP speed down to 4x in BIOS (what the heck). Nothing is helping except for turning my settings down to Fisher-Price Strobe Light.
My monitor is in the same position it's always been in, same cable, no new sources of interference. Does this mean my new video card is a dud??
