I experience a fuzzy screen when I have my Windows desktop set for high resolutions. Whats wrong?
A few people have this problem, although I understand it’s rare. On some Voodoo cards, especially some of the cheaper ones, there’s not enough filtering in the video pass-through electronics. This can cause a fuzzy image in 2D mode when viewing the Windows desktop. This generally only happens at resolutions over 1024×768. One possible way of fixing it is to reduce your vertical refresh in 2D mode- however anything less than 75 Hz will give you unacceptable image quality. If you’re lucky, you might be able to cure the problem by purchasing a couple of clamp-on RF cable chokes. You can buy these at Radio-Shack and other electronic parts suppliers. They may be round or square and they clamp on over a cable up to 3/16″ in diameter. Your computer monitor likely has a choke already built into it’s cable at the computer end, but it’ll be molded into the cable. Buy two chokes and clamp one onto each end of the short jumper connecting your 2D card and your 3D card. They should be located right
