well this is also for anyone who finds this thread in the future..................... i now see there is also an issue with my monitor too,when on a completely white screen the bottom seems to get slightly blue,if i change my viewing angle it gets better but i see it from a normal viewing...

as a mostly amd user too i made the switch to nvidia a few days ago mainly because i wanted physx. was a tough change as documented in the thread here where i had some issues with the differences in video playback but i got those pretty much solved and im really liking the added realism. amd...

check your ram,memtest86.

well after all my checks and seeing how it looks with the old card back in i see this card is ok. turned on some video filters in nvidia control panel after i saw what was going on in catalyst. now videos look ok so im good.really thinking about getting a new monitor though. ill do more reading...

well i thought of that also since i switched companys,but it was much worse initially now its better. also ive had no issues gaming or with anything else. im settling in and it seems ok now,just thinking of a new monitor too. im really liking the physx and offcourse better frame rate and...

strange how i only saw this with the new card,but its acceptable now,only if i look hard at it do i see anything as for other changes in quality i dont know anymore,guess ive been obsessing too much. i did enable a few things in the nvidia control panel after i wrote down those ati settings to...

i put the ati back in and installed catalyst,didnt uninstall nvidia driver was too lazy but i see very slightly what i was seeing before so its not the card i guess. ati do have some video playback filters on by default: color vibrance 40 flesh tone correction 50 brighter whites edge...

well going to put ati back in to see there video effect settings. also took a short video of a strange red line of weird stuff on startup,maybe this card is defective?a friend of mine seems to think so. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XA4eGD9P59g bad quility video but you can kinda see the red...

booted ubuntu livecd same thing.im starting to doubt myself. my 2nd monitor is really dark no matter how i set it so not so sure about what i see or dont see on it with this stuff. ill put the ati back in some time soon to see how it looks to me now.

some more.............. just played with contrast and brightness while paused on some video and i could see those lines changing while doing that,very strange indeed. also changing monitor color setting to cool didnt get rid of them. monitor is a few years old proview 2200w with hardware ID...

didnt have time to continue with this yesterday.tryed a few guides for monitor calibration but seems to me the warm and srgb color settings are part of the problem. I used to be on warm all the time but then when i try adjustin gamma contrast and brightness i just cant seem to get it right. From...

well new dvi cable hasnt changed anything,also forgot to mention untill now how smoothing or something is off by default and some times i see very slight squares,part of the decoding of the picture or something. makes me wonder what effects ati have turned on by default maybe ill pop the old...

well that is similar only what i was seeing was'nt as bad as that and was occasionally with blue/green spots,most of the the it was lines made of those,same kind of effect like the picture you posted,has to do with shadows and stuff. i checked to be sure and i am set to 32 bit color,its a...

well ive been looking at the pics on many different monitors at work and im having trouble seeing what i saw at home,maybe its the contrast and brightness settings.i'll try a new cable too but i highly doubt that is the issue. very strange indeed,as i said before i switched video cards all...

well i see it less now too since ive messed around with so many settings but its still there some times and the picture quality is still a little different. ive tried with just one monitor attached instead of 2 which didnt do anything,guess i should get more dvi cables. ill also look at those...
