Currently, I'm running a Geforce GTX 550 Ti into a 27 inch LG monitor through DVI, and then a smaller HDTV built by RCA into the HDMI. Both are nice displays, but one thing I've noticed is that the icons on my desktop aren't smoothed out, they have sharp visible edges. Playing games is great, but there are still times where the edges aren't smoothed out. I'm running at the native resolution, 1920 - 1080, on the primary 27 inch monitor, which is all I care about at the moment. So is there any way I can get better visuals out of this graphics card? Should I scale down the display? Should I save for a higher end graphics card (650 Ti?) Thanks, all help is greatly appreciated.

Anti-aliasing will be the same no matter if its a 550, 650, or 680. Increase your AA settings ingame to decrease "jaggies", but there will be a performance cost (Thats the benefit you'd see with a higher-end GPU). Windows has an AA feature (of course I cant remember the name of it)

Yeah I think the problem is that windows aero doesn't seem to be affected by the AA, but I will give it another try, if there is a windows feature I'd love to figure that out. I'm running win 8 pro btw
