I just installed my new Gforce 295 card and the text is blurry. I tried to go through the calibration software included in W7 but some of the text on web pages appear slightly blurry and not as crisp as I had with my other card (Gforce 8800). Any suggestions would be appreciated.

No. I assumed W7 did all of that. How can I do that safely?

Thanks NoUse. I should have done that but it is like not seeing the forest because of the trees or hiding something in plain sight. It worked. Now if I could just get COD Modern Warfare 2 and FarCry 2 to work.

yeah every time you update your vid drivers it's a good idea to do a little "dance" lol...first get a program like DriverSweeper, install it but don't run it yet.

Un-install your drivers thru Win7 like normal (add/remove programs).
Reboot when it asks you; but go into safe mode.
Run DriverSweeper in safe mode and only select Nvidia - Display. Run the cleaner and reboot again back into normal Windows.
Install the new drivers, and reboot one more time when it asks you and you should be good.

It's a PITA; but this is the sure way to avoid conflicts
