Civ 5 looks fuzzy on native resolution w/ external monitor

[blackfira]

I have a Lenovo Y580 (i7 3630QM, 660M) and I recently purchased an external monitor (ASUS VN247). The monitor has been working fine for everything else so far, but when Civ 5 looks really fuzzy on my native resolution (1920x1080p with 50/59/60hz). However, if I reduce the resolution to 1680x1050 its perfectly fine and not fuzzy. Of course though, I want to play native, since my PC can handle it .

So does anyone have any ideas as to how I could remedy this? I'm running the 320.49 drivers, but am considering temporarily downloading the latest beta drivers, but I feel it wouldn't make a difference.

EDIT: I've also tried it with and without VSYNC, same thing.

This game is 3D meaning that if you had glasses, it would not look fuzzy. It should look stereoscopic. Try hitting ctrl + t. That should toggle in and out of 3D mode. If that does not work (I have Nvidea), then you need to go into the GPU settings and figure out how to turn 3D off.

Thanks for the input. I should have added that when I go 1920x1080 in windowed, it stops being fuzzy. I'm going to try to disable the stereoscopic settings in the control panel, but I only have the ability to manage 3D options for some reason.

So I've updated to beta 326.41, but the game still comes out fuzzy on native 1920x1080. I can't modify any settings in the nvidia control panel because nothing appears other than the first three options in 3D settings.

Did ctrl + t change anything? If not, then it has nothing to do with 3D (stereoscopic) settings.


According to the VN247 manual
Press the A button for two seconds to
automatically adjust the image (for VGA mode
only).
• Adjust the Phase and Clock settings via OSD.

It may be that the GPU is not defaulting to 60 Hz, and you may have to do it manually?


IN the Nvidea control settings under Stereoscopic you can check the box that hides stereoscopic effects. Your card may not even support it. The only reason, I mentioned it is because my 3D settings are constantly on and sometimes when a game starts I forget that it is on and it is blurry, until ctrl + t turns 3D off.
