Text quality ATI Radeon 9000 video card - need some help, pcumming
Text quality ATI Radeon 9000 video card - need some help, pcumming
Why is the screen font looking so lousy here, could I be missing some fonts, should I look for something or change a setting? Have a new ATI Radeon 9000 video card with 64MB of memory. Tried upping the refresh rate to 70, tried selecting smoothing fonts from desktop among other things. Still no better. Monitor has .25 dot pitch and is a Sony Trinitron 19 inch. The text at bottom of screen looks pretty bad. Looked better with my old 3dfx card. Perhaps there is a setting somewhere. Running Win2k at 800x600. Screenshot of text is at: http://home.carolina.rr.com/bestsitesdir/image1.jpg You must Do a "Save Picture AS" and then change percentqge in your graphics progam to 100% to see what MY screen text really looks like. You can then compare by going to google and looking at the bottom of YOUR OWN screen. Try this link: http://groups.google.com/groups?hl=e...ner+attachment The bottom part of MY screen with poor quality text begins with this phrase: "In order to show you the most relevant results, we have omitted some entries very similar to the 8 already displayed. If you like, you can repeat the search with the omitted results included." Thanks, Peter |

cards without a problem. I wrote ATI but also found others complaining of smeared or blurred text. I need to find if there is an antialias option for the ATI card. Will also await more replies Sincerely Peter "Pug Fugley2" wrote in message hlink.net... Looks clear (other than the jpg compression) so you might have a monitor problem.
