All games seem to be foggy/blurry?

I've noticed this for a while now. My PC is less than 4 months old. I mainaly noticed it when I started playing Rocket League a few months ago. Then I noticed it again when playing BF1 Beta, but wasn't sure because there was a lot of sand and dust anyway.
Now I'm playing H1Z1, it seems to be foggy/blurry.

What can cause such a problem? I've tired everything. It's annoying, because something doesn't seem right.

Have you updated your graphics driver recently?

Check the driver settings for anti-aliasing, tone curve, etc,...

Also are you using a DVI, HDMI, or D-Sub cable??? Analog radio interference on a D-Sub cable can create all kinds of unwanted video problems.

If you cant fix the problem thru the driver or monitor settings, the next step in my opinion would be to check your cabling before exploring anything else.

And finally, could you have accidentally changed the refresh rate on your monitor?

DVI to my 144hz monitor. All cables are fine,

Probably just a case of too aggressive post-processing anti-aliasing. Check both in-game and your video drivers.

What your describing does happen n Win10 with applications, the resolution is:

Resolution
In some cases, the application vendor may be able to provide an updated software version that better supports high-DPI displays.

If there is no updated DPI-aware version of the application available, you may be able to alter the appearance of the application by using one of the following methods. Be aware that this may result in less desirable results, depending on the application.

Disable DPI virtualization for the application. To do this, right-click the application's shortcut and then click Properties. On the Compatibility tab, select Disable Display Scaling On High DPI Settings, and then click OK. This causes the text in the application to appear clearer. However, if the application does not correctly handle high DPI settings, this procedure may have adverse side effects such as truncated text and incorrectly sized graphical elements.
I have had to do that with certain applications that were not rendering clearly.

Not a perfect solution but still a step in the analysis.

As others have stated install the latest nVidia drivers - but before you do run DDU firstly to properly clean out the old drivers.

Seriously consider doing an advanced install of the drivers and only install the drivers and deselect the bloatware.

Those Nvidia settings look fine. Check you in-game settings. You also might need to look though the ini files for some games for hidden settings. H1Z1 for instance is running on the same engine and made by the same people as Planetside 2, which has built in FXAA that can only be fully removed using the ini file.

Yeah I always suggest clean and custom installs of everything. Makes a world of difference. Certainly something to try if you don't find an issue with the in-game settings.
