I recently upgraded from a 2000 machine with an nVidia Vanta card to an
XP box running ATI's Radeon RX 300 SE-Guru card (with ABIT stuff). I
have a ViewSonic A91f+ monitor. I am running the monitor at the same
resolution and same refresh rate as before, but it is noticably blurry.
This new video card is many times faster than the old AGP 1x card, but
what gives? Are ATI drivers really so much worse than nVidia? I
noticed something similar with my parents XP machine awhile back, so I
hooked my old machine to it. Their monitor is crystal clear with the
nVidia card running 2000. Is XP really the Win98 upgrade it feels
like? Are there better device drivers for this ATI card, or do I have
to just put up with the XP blurriness?

Thanks.
