I really want to update my drivers for various reasons (mainly the witcher 3 has some major performance increases with the new driver) but updating them causes a problem with a fuzzy/blurry display.

I have done tons of research and tried many fixes but still havent been able to fix the problem. I've tried adjust over/underscaling, changing my resolution, toggling GPU scaling, changing gaming settings in the CCC.etc

Can anyone give me a fix, or help me find one?

Windows 7 64 bit
R7 260x
AMD FX-6350
8 gigs RAM, 1TB HDD.

I had the exact same issue - similar hardware to yours. How a perfectly sharp Samsung 45" display went blurry made me want to pull my hair out.

I ended up removing the whole AMD Catalyst Software and Drivers.

Things sharpened right back up on the older MS default drivers.
Currently installing the latest BETA driver to see if that helps.

UPDATE: No luck with newest 15.6 Beta drivers...WTH!


Everything works fine with previous driver versions, so it shouldnt be any of these things.

UPDATE: I'll still try this but probably after trying all other options. I can always just revert to the previous driver and things will act normally.

I have the exact problem with an MSI radeon r7 360 and a native 1080 LG tv monitor.
With standard windows driver it looks ok, when I install catalyst some parts of the text in a page get blurry fuzzy. Tried overscaling and the morphological filtering thing but still no resolve.
I also tried 2 hdmi cables on different monitor/ pc ports.
Since my monitor doesn't have DVI and my graphic card only has HDMI, DVI and DP outputs, I ca only try through HDMI connection.
Still I think is a driver/setup problem, since same hardware setup works good with standard windows driver.
 
Sorry, havent been on for a while. The problem was actually my monitor. I got a new PC monitor and havent had problems with res after updating the drivers.
