I am a graphic designer. In June, I had a computer crash and had to buy a new machine. But knowing I wanted to create a VR machine in the near future, I decided to wait for new video cards that were due out pretty soon. Meanwhile, I worked with the onboard graphics (something I'd never done before). My monitor didn't change, but my display became much poorer with this move -- guidelines in InDesign were not dark enough anymore. Ticklines on Word rulers were barely visible. I figured I needed a real video card. I'd had Nvidia something or other before, so figured it would work again. I now am running Geforce GTX 960 at the suggestion of my computer shop. But I have had NO improvement whatsoever, and I've tweaked the snot out of every setting I can find on both video card and monitor itself. I've since chatted around and learned -- much to my embarrassment -- that these Nvidia cards are more suited to gaming. I don't WANT to buy a new card, but I think I have to, and I have absolutely no clue if 1) the card is the problem for this overbrightness/indistinctness that showed up when I got the new computer, or if 2) the computer itself could somehow be the problem (has anyone ever heard of this happening?), or 3) if a decent graphics-oriented video card would make a difference, and if so, which ones should I consider? Any help would be appreciated. I'm getting serious eye strain, and even though it is not the monitor's fault -- it had a great image before -- I am always on the verge of throwing it out the window. Help, anyone, and thanks. (P.S. anyone have ANY ideas about the cause of all this?)
