so i just recently bought a new vid card for the comp, went from a geforce 6800 to a evga geforce 9400,first thing i notice is that everything is a little more blurry than i was used to, so i went to the color controls and saw the image sharpening slider was off and grayed out,does anyone with a newer card know why they disabled the image sharpening? i loved that feature and made my monitor look alot better than it actually is...so im sad its gone ><

It's possible the"image sharpening" is just not supported by the new card, sometimes for whatever reasons they disable the feature, happened to me a couple times..Thats all i can figure.

Not trying to sound too simplistic here... but did you actually adjust the resolution after installing the card through Windows properties?

yea i installed the drivers it came with and everything and did the screen adjustments, trying to get things as sharp as possible,i just did a little research i guess since the 8 series the image sharpen option has been disabled,kinda blows.

Just my two cents...I'm told that if you don't have a power supply big enough to power it properly that blurriness can happen as well. Not sure if that helps but good luck!

welp, my power supply is 400 and the min req for this card is only 350, so i think im alright there,its not bad looking, and this card IS an upgrade from the old one, its just the tiny bit difference im not used to cuz i used to run with almost full sharpening.my eyes arent great so its something i just got very used to seeing.*shrugthanks for the input though guys,

If so it has a fixed resolution, make sure that your desktop resolution is the same as your monitors fixed resolution...if ur current resolution is lower then the screens fixed everything will look blury/fuzy I'm almost %100 sure this is your issue. PM me if you need some more help!

If all else fails, sell the new card and put back in the old one. LOL... been there done that. Sometimes if it ain't broke don't fix it.
