blurry edges in games

ninjakarlsej · Nov 28, 2013

Hi community

For not long time ago i saw all the edges on blocks in minecraft was black blurry and it was pretty annoying, i recently upated my GPU drivers so i thought they might be the problem. I tried running back some old drivers but it didnt work. then later that day i played Garry's Mod where the problem was too, on all the edges of buildings and props, and mostly lights. does anyone have an idea of what i could do to fix this? i've tried turning on and off almost all the settings in both the games and Nvidia controlpanel.

if you want my specs just ask

also while writing this i was gonna take a screenshot of a video (that i've recorded) so you can see what i mean but everytime i pause the video the black blurry edges disaper in the video?
so unfortunaly i cant show you

I had this issue with ARMA II and it turned out to be the 3D resolution. You could also try changing the resolution in game.

sounds like you have adjusted clear type wrong. it doesnt just affect text it can affect any gfx displayed on screen.

Matt-Sir :

yeah in GMOD i've tried changing everything but none of the setting worked

please note that this problem didnt happen when i first bought GMOD so i've played 150 hours without problems

Try to take the screenshot with the "Print" button in the right upper corner of your keyboard, if it is not in the Picture anymore, it should be some trouble with your Graphics Card/Monitor or the Drivers, if so. do a fresh install on your drivers, since I see you have Nvidia, go for a custom installation and tick "Fresh Install", if that doesn't solve the problem, in the Nvidia Control Panel should be something that lets you set Settings for specific game, ther should also be a button with "restore to default". Will help you further if the Problem still remains

IIFellerII :

i've tried the ''restore to default'' didnt work

IIFellerII · Nov 28, 2013

did you solve it? since you selected "Best Solution", if so, Have fun

Matt-Sir · Nov 28, 2013

What GPU do you have?

IIFellerII :

what?

Matt-Sir · Nov 28, 2013

There are a few settings within the Nvidia control panel that could cause this but I personally have an AMD and can't remember the options in the Nvidia control any more. Try playing with the settings and see what you get, if all goes bad you can always restore defaults again.

Matt-Sir :

just saw that i've selected it but no i didnt mean to:/ how do i remove it?

ninjakarlsej · Nov 28, 2013

Matt-Sir :

nope didnt get it to work

Matt-Sir · Nov 28, 2013

You said you had a video of it. Is this a short video you could maybe upload to YouTube or somewhere so we can see the problem?

ninjakarlsej · Nov 28, 2013

Matt-Sir :

im pretty sure its only on my pc you can see it

Matt-Sir · Nov 28, 2013

If that's the case it would indicate a problem with your monitor not your GPU settings.

ninjakarlsej · Nov 28, 2013

Matt-Sir :

do have an idea to what i could try?

Matt-Sir · Nov 28, 2013

Since you've tried all software solutions aside from a format, if you have another monitor/tv you could connect it to and see if the problem persists that could either rule out the monitor as the problem or show that the monitor is the problem.

Matt-Sir :

ok thank you i'll try that soon

how to take a screen shot....
1 press prt screen...
2 open paint.
3 click on the paint screen.
4 press ctrl v
5 save the picture to bmp fomat as its lossless so will give a true representation of your actual gpu output.
6 link the content here.

have you checked the cables... also i removed the best answer because this isnt solved...

ninjakarlsej · Nov 29, 2013

HEXiT :

thank you for removing the ''best answer'' thing I didn't mean to press it

when I take a screenshot and open it in paint the blur is gone so before I save it it's already gone
