Hey guys,

Has anyone who installed this card noticed like slightly fuzzy text? I am pretty sure before swapping out my 4890's my text was pretty crisp, after installing my 680 and using it for a couple of days now I noticed that the text don't seem as crisp. I have tried the clear text feature in win7 but it seems to do nothing, I have also uninstalled & reinstalled the drivers as well as even trying the newly released beta drivers. Getting a little frustrated here!! Any suggestions?

Also, I did clean out all of my ATI drivers using driver sweeper before installing the GTX 680.

Factory reset your monitor and let it auto-adjust.

Sorry, I forgot to mention I am using an LG LCD HDTV "32" inch as my current display. I know that is not the issue because I have been using this tv with my 4890's for more than a year now and never experienced this before. I did already try adjusting settings and sharpness but nada, I will try to to reset the tv to factory though and see if it helps thought I doubt it. Thanks though.

Any other suggestions?

FXAA will cause fuzzy text.

You're not using a DVI-VGA adapter are you?

I think i know what your problem is, that's the reason why i can't switch to nvidia even if i wanted to.
It' the color bleeding right?
