Hello everyone,
First off I would like to say this is a very valuable resource. There have been many times where I have solved computer related issues thanks to Tom's Hardware. Without wasting too much of your time, I'll dive right into my problem. Essentially, here's what happens. I will be playing a game, say Crysis, or Battlefield Bad Company 2, or APB: Reloaded. It honestly does not matter which game, in fact it has also occurred in GTA IV. Upon initial playing, in which I submit my desired video settings, the games will look amazing. However, if I were to change the resolution to something other than 1600x1200 (my monitor's native res), and change it back to 1600x1200, I lose a severe amount of quality in the display of the game. It's difficult to explain, however it just looks like I'm running in 1024x768, or some lower resolution. The reason I say this is because lines becomes extremely jagged, even with AA set to 4x. Objects look blurry, and undefined. The game loses its crisp visuals. It is difficult to submit before and after pictures so I can show you all just what I mean, because I don't ever think to take screenshots of the game before it happens. I only have screenshots of what my game looks like after the fact. The only way I have been able to solve this problem is through a reinstall. Updating drivers, deleting my settings.ini files and even switching video cards (I have two 9800GTXs) does not solve the problem. Please, if anyone here has a possible solution, it would be greatly appreciated. Thank you all in advance.
Edit: Not sure if this makes a difference, but in the Nvidia control panel my two 9800GTXs have different clock speeds. One is 675, the other 700. Also, shader clocks are 1688 and 1728.
