I recently upgraded from an Amd Graphics card to an Nvidia geforce gtx 970. I have experienced a graphics downgrade on one of my older games from 2003 Jedi Academy. With my old card everything looked fine and sharp until I got my new card. Now everything looks blurrey, and stretchy. I have all my settings turned up the way they should be on my Nvidia control panel, and I have no idea why this is happening. I have asked this before and they recommended installing older drivers to maybe get it to work but I'm not sure. Does anyone know how I can deal with this?

How exactly would I tweak it? Unless you mean do something in the control panel which I have not done yet.

 


i mean the drivers itself. if it really is driver problem then nothing much we can do except waiting for nvidia to resolve the problem. you can try using older driver as well. also when you change your card to nvidia have you did clean driver install?

I had a similar problem... almost. I used to play the original Starcraft many years ago... I couple of years ago I reinstalled it and tried playing it on a newer system and it looked terrible with weird colors and distorted images. There was a fix. I went to Blizzard website for the game and there was a patch that fixed the colors.. but the resolution remained the same. Perhaps you could see if you could change the game's resolution to something lower to make it look better.
