Gtx 590 problems

[lbg440]

Hello,
I recently upgraded my system, and got a GTX 590 with the latest drive installed from nvidia.com.
everything is working fine, except i have this strange problem! texts in games appear extremely jagged that I can't read it! and this problem only appears in games!
I don't think the problem is from the display, because I tried another gpu and everything was fine, it only happens with the GTX 590.

How can I fix this?!

Thanks

Try different Resolutions and see if it still shows the jagged text, does it appear in all games?

 

[lbg440]

yes it does. all games, and all different resolutions!

Have you enabled anti-aliasing in your games?

If you go into the Nvidia control pannel and under the 3d settings click on adjust image settings with preview and select Quality and save , and see if that makes a difference.

I have, yes, tried both (turning AA on and of) with no luck. Even the games menu texts have the problem. Basically, ALL texts within a game are extremely jagged, I can't read them!

Also try reducing your refresh rate, see if that makes a difference

What monitor are you using? Whats the resolution on your monitor?

im using my Sony LED tv @ native 1920x1080p DVI to HDMI. Tried VGA and it woked fine.

if the problem is only texts and graphics are fine. it sounds like something in your settings u need to adjust.

hmm. sometimes hdtvs can be a little tricky.

Hmmm have you tried HDMI to HDMI?

the 590 only has DVI outputs

GRRR!

 

[monsta]

They have the mini display port yeah? The only thing I can suggest is to try a Mini Display to HDMI , but it might not solve your pronlem.

 

[lbg440]

could it be a driver problem?! if so, I have the latest installed
Windows display texts perfectly! but games on the other hand...

 

[monsta]

I would try another monitor just to see if it still does it, my friend had a similar problem using an adaptor, his TV just didn't like it.

Some TV's with dedicated VGA input labeled for the PC connection are fickle and want you to use that and not a DVI to HDMI connection, while the picture will look fine the txt will look as you described. Some newer TV's nowadays label an HDMI input as PC input for connection to the vid card on the PC so could just be your TV honestly.

as odd as it may sound, check your sharpness setting on your tv, slide it toward teh blurrier side some and see if it helps. Mine was looking funky on my tv too, doin that helped alot. Also if your tv has any "smooth motion" type features, try turnin them off. My text can get odd if the background behind the text moves sometimes.

well, it turned out my Sony LED doesn't want to play nice with the 590; tried another LG LCD, and everything was perfect.

Thanks guys

Heads up! noob question coming through. If I connected my PC to my LED TV through the mobo's HDMI output, will my 590 still render the games? Also, is it fine to do so? wont I sacrifice any graphics by doing that?
