I use a KVM to run 2 computers with 1 monitor, mouse and keyboard. On my main system I get ghosting on my monitor running 1024x768 using a GeForce 256. But on my game system (attached to the same monitor, mouse and kyb through the KVM) I get no ghosting at 1024x768 using a GeForce GTS.
So hearing about the GeForces suposed low 2D quality, I replaced my GeForce 256 with a new Matrox G450. The G450 has the same ghosting problem as the old GeForce 256. So thinking it was the monitor cable I got a $25 Belkin Gold Monitor Cable to run from my G450 to the KVM. Still ghosting. So I tried the cable I was using from my GTS to the KVM, still ghosting. I tried moving both computers away from anything that might cause interferance, with the same results, the GTS is clear at 1024x768, the G450 has ghosting. If I plug my G450 direct to the monitor I loose the ghosting, but my GTS has no problem going through the same cable and KVM.
So what is my problem, does the mobo or anything else affect video quality. I am at a loss. With all the talk about the GeForce's crapy 2D and the Matrox's great 2D, I am really at a loss. Any ideas are welcome.
