Hi, I've got an 2-3 Months old GTX 970 and lately(last few weeks) its been acting really weird.

In games I'am suddenly starting to get really bad looking jagged up text's
At one point it started to annoy me so used the "Display Driver Uinstaller" to remove ALL graphics card drivers and reinstalled them. It fixed the problem for a little bit but now its suddenly back again.

Is there something wrong with my graphics card? what should I do to fix this?

most of them are set to Application Controlled and off

but that shouldnt be the reason for it to somtimes look like it should and sometimes look liek crap

lol.. I think I can guess them pretty well. =P

So it's intermittent... Did you try swapping out the cable between you pc and your monitor? Have you checked the connections? What kind of cable are you using?

I managed to get a picture of what it looks like in game.
However I didnt manage to get a picture of what the text loooks like in the steam overlay. But it pretty much looks the same tbh

So what bad text exactly are we looking at? Because it all looks normal for me in that screenshot. No issues with any of your text.

If you look at the toolbar you can see all the letters and numbers they are really jagged up (u cant really see it that good in this picture but for my eyes in real time it was alot worse. and it was just like that in the steam overlay, i can barely read what it says really.

Not sure if it's just on your screen or what because the text does not look bad. The toolbar ammo numbers looks normal for Rust. So might be an issue only your screen is displaying.

It looks just like that in my steam overlay aswell (just a little bit worse actually) and my FPS counter thats provided by the steam overlay.

It could be my monitor yes but i highly doubt it cuz it does only happend in games. nowhere else(and steam overlay ofc)

Yeah dude, there is no jagged text of any kind in that picture you provided at all. It has to be only visual through your screen since a screenshot is not holding the jagged text. I would get your monitor checked out. Try looking at that same screenshot in your monitor while it's hooked up to a different computer. Also if you could try your GPU in a different computer while looking at that screenshot and see if at all you can get jagged text. Because man, no jagged text at all in any of the screenshots you provided here on my end.

Iknow that it doesnt look that bad in unity 3D really but it's a whole other story in rust and steam overlay.

And heres a photo of unity3d after reinstalling graphics drivers

it looks perfect.

If i would I would give you a picture of my steam overlay but I cant print screen it.

I'm also not able to try other monitors nor try my gpu on another pc.
