I just had a question, and maybe someone might have a idea on how to fix it. I just recently got a new video card, Nvidia 6800gs. It works fine and everything. But I have two monitors, a 17" Samsung crt, and a 21" Nec crt. Now if I hook up the 17" everything works fine. But when I hook up the 21" I cant go any higher than 800x600 without it getting blurry. Now I know its not my monitor, because on my old ATI video card it worked beautiful. But with this Nvidia card its gets real blurry. Im running the latest drivers for it also. So is this just because of the Nvidia card? I mean I remember hearing about this awhile back about them being blurry like this. Does any one have any ideas on what to try next? I have gone though all the resoultions and refresh rates also, it doesnt matter if I run it dual display or single it does the same thing, I have also tried each port on the video card. The 17" I can run at any resoultion and it works great, but not with the 21". But on the ATI card it worked beautiful. Any ideas?

Change your refresh rate in it maybe :\ not to sure


Ya I tried everyone, I guess its just because its an Nvidia card? :confused:
 
There were a certain string of manufacturers of nvidia cards that used poor quality filter chokes inline with the VGA output and would blur at higher resolutions.

You can correct this to some extent by using a No.2 pencil to shade over smd coils that are electrically inline with the VGA connector circuit connections.

If you do a google search, you will likely find the instructions for doing this on GF 4200 cards, and GF MX cards.
 
I fixed it, I got a new VGA cable and it took care of it. Thx for all the help guys! :)
