I just installed a new video card in my PC. Its an NVIDIA FX5900.
All I did was update the drivers and install DirectX9 and now all of a sudden all my fonts that I type in any application are grainy and pixilated.
It does it in Word, Photoshop, Illustrator......whatever.
The weird thing is that it even prints out pixilated. What the heck did I do to my computer?
I dont even know where to begin, Ive tried every setting change I can think of.
Any help would be appreciated. :(
Fisrt off I think this is the wrong forum for your post. If your convinvced it's a graphic card prob then maybe a mod should move it into that forum.
Anways....back to the prob.
If you say that it prints the fonts that way too then I doubt it has anything to do with the graphic drivers.
Sorry I can't really give you much advice except that I my experience the newest nvidia drivers are a real pain and mess things up. Thought this is just in my experience and may not necesarily be true to you.
As a solution I went back to the previous drivers (v44.03) and all works fine.
Also if you use the nvidia TwinView features then the new drivers don't support it no more.
What I did want to ask you though is, Did everything show up fine until you installed the new drivers/DX9? or did it display all wrong since you put the card in and installed the original driver.
Sorry about the forum issue......I wasnt aware of another forum pertaining to video cards.
Im not sure about the driver issue as I installed the drivers before I installed the card....per the instructions.
Where might I be able to find the old Nvidia drivers?
I don't know if the old drivers are still available.... I saved them on my HD.
Yes. Me too. I create a backup copy of my drivers just for emergency purposes.
try http://nvidia.com

Thanks Mr Sammy for moving this thread into its proper thread.
Can you also provide some links that offers free drivers for different hardwares?
