Is my adapter the problem?
Hi I'm having a problem with my display as the picture isn't as clear as it can be. I am using a 42" TV as my monitor and I have a g3258 cpu and an r9 280x gpu, I use a dvi to vga adapter on the gpu and it looks okay and I have the resolution set to 1080p but I have just tested the igpu with just the vga connection to the mobo and everything is a lot sharper than with the gpu and adapter. Can you please tell me what the problem might be? Thanks

Oh right it's looked very bad from my old 6870 and now the same with 280x must be because I'm using a TV then

Would a dvi to vga cable be better?

Try another adapter seeing as they are only $10. Try another cable.
