I uninstalled my 3650 and installed my 5750. My 5750 looks like absolute crap, I mean the display does..the card looks nice. Same settings as my 3650 but with the 5750 everything looks dull and hazy and wow could only be played at 35 fps...any help?

Did you do the proper ATI install method? It's a bit of a pain in the butt but it often cleans these problems up. Worth a shot anyway. You can google it but the shorty of it is you will need to uninstall the drivers in control panel, reboot, delete the ATI folder in the program files, then again in the windows/system32 folder, then delete a couple of registry entries (do google this as you don't want to muck this part up). Then reboot and install the new card. It might fix it.
wow. Thanks. Do you have a link?
ok. Followed the steps yet things are still fuzzy.
Are you using the full suite version of Catalyst? And I assume you did download the most current version and not using the same drivers/catalyst suite that you did for the old card?
No I grabbed the new one off of the xfx site. My old card was Sapphire.
Still not any better...I guess the next step would be a clean install?
That would be what I would try next, if it's not too big of a hastle then shoot for it. There is always the possibility that the crd itself is defective too, do you have another PC you can try it in?
Are you at the native resolution for your screen? If not, that can cause general fuzzy/haziness. :)
That reminds me, there are some issues with the newest ATI drivers not allowing screen refresh rates over 60Hz. Seems it's just not designed into the software yet and it's pissing alot of ATI owners off. I don't know if that has anything to do with your problem, but I am getting screen flickers on both screens that I think is because of this limitation.
Yes, but why would wow run at such a low fps? I hate doing a clean install and starting over but I suppose I will. I was hoping this card would go smooth and I could be gaming gloriously...but no.
If the clean install doesn't work out, the 5750 is going back.
I would do the same thing. and a 60Hz limitation? retarded. come on ATI, get your **** together.Quote:
