My last three motherboards from 2011 and up were AMD chipsets boards
I picked up ASUS Z97 for a 4770K chip it seems to be easier on the eyes then the AMD boards I had. Could be a convergence issue that stems from the graphics cards or quality of parts I don't think it's the processor alone but hell it could be.

I haven't played any game though but I hope to have less eyestrain with those too...
 
Quite possibly the most ridiculous thread I have ever read in my life.............
 
Maybe its a test!

Too bad I have no answer for it.......... but I felt like my IQ level went down a notch just reading it.

No...

But to humor the idea...Did nothing else about your computing setup change at all the entire time? Location, desk, chair, monitor, distance from monitor, eye correction lenses?

Yeah seriously. If what the OP says is true there is another explanation for it besides going with Intel brand / based parts.
 
Your Displayport, DVI, or HDMI cable was not connected very well resulting in a slight flicker on the screen. So, when you switched you reconnected it better.

My only guess other than placebo affect.
 
No it's just better period it could be the Sabertooth Z97 board I'm using which is a higher quality component board. If you couldn't see a Biostar from 2005 just melting your thoughts away I could....

I sometimes wonder why there are so many people incapable of doing the simplest tasks at work.

Then I find posts like this and finally start to understand.
 
When I switched to a board with Virtu MVP, my cholesterol went down 40 points.

I don't know guys, I used to have AMD and I never had back problems. Now that I run Intel I have a lot of back issues.

Come to think of it, when I went to AMD, I lost a lot of weight. But since I started using Intel processors, I slowly gained some of it back.

Its because with AMD cpus, you had to ride your bike back to the store to replace it for its shitty performance thinking that if you "upgraded" within AMD it would get better. SInce buying your Intel, you are happy.

What the, I don't understand the benefit to this, is 20 seconds taking too long for you? :p

You're just not peeing fast enough unless you have to brace against something or the blowback is strong enough to put you through a wall.
Or...
You can switch to an all prune diet and have to install a 5 point harness on your toilet. Now THAT'S a colon cleanse!

Oh you youngin's...there actually was a time where AMD had the faster processors... ;)

But wat about the cable Intel connected directly to my heart?

Intel knows just how to woo me with sweet nothings :D

Seriously, their zeroes are the sweetest nothings you can find! I could do without the ones though.

Not young at all. I remember those badass Athlons (IE: 1700 and those badass barton 2600's). But how long as it been since AMD held its own? I owned only AMD CPU's till 2006.
 
I won one of those nice Athlon 1800+'s and a motherboard when they were doing that around the country tour introducing and promoting them :)

And they gave you glycoma didn't they?
 
Loving the responses here, I'm laughing too much to add anything. Great thread.

Or he's using VGA, which means the quality of the analog components on the motherboard would have a direct impact on image quality.

If his old motherboard had a particularly bad layout / noisy components, then it really could have caused issues with VGA-out that his new board resolved.

FINALLY! A technical post!

Though the comments are great.


OP needs to be more scientific on what has changed though. Chances of this being a widespread thing is incredibly low and there are plenty of other variables that could be at play that's to credit for this. Ambient lighting from a window....has the weather been consistent and different from when you made the switch, A/C been turned on/off, fan turned on/off during the upgrade and forgotten about, etc...SOOOO many variables.
 
Amd pretty much destroyed Intel while the Pentium 4 was being pushed. Too bad consumers were retarded and still flocked to Intel instead of giving AMD some much needed market share.
 
OP has smoked entirely too much weed. It's the only explanation. That's why he is straining to see the monitor and why he created this dumbass thread.
 
Well the graphic chip is different, so the graphic driver is different, so the rendering of font and font anti-aliasing could be different. I know that I had to adjust the ClearType differently between my nvidia card and the onboard graphic on the same display.
