But is there a setting on the nvidia drivers that sharpens the picture?
You might want to check your Mipmap settings in the Advanced DirectX
settings Tab of your Nvidia properties.
Set these to a higher quality instead of a higher performance.... It
improves the picture and espacially text in DirectX environments.
It might improve in other application ....

That setting only affects 3D graphics and does nothing to 2D.
Are you using WinXP? Do you have cleartype fonts on maybe?

nVidia is famous of very bad 2D picture quality. Matrox is the best. Ati
cards are fair enough too... but nVidia just sucks.
Too bad, because nVidia is the way to go almost anywhere else but 2d...

I wait impatiently for reviews of the Matrox Parhelia :)

Dave,
I guess you wouldn't want to try throwing your old V5 back into the system
after the driver dance you had to do to get the nvidia card working? I was
just curious what your immediate impressions would be when doing a back to
back comparision (under admittedly unscientific conditions) between the 2d
of your current Ti200 (iirc) and your old V5.
Regards,
Robin
I have noticed this also after getting a GF3 card, but only when viewing
web pages and only when using Netscape. When I use Internet Explorer for
the same web page the text is perfectly clear so I don't think it's an
Nvidia issue. It's hopfully just a setting thing but I will continue to use
Netscape regardless. If you figure it out please let me know. Don
