How To Tell If Graphics Card Is Aging (Updated)
MarinatedPleasure:
Is that so? I hadn't realised. I don't smooth edges (my old, feeble graphics card would never be able to handle it), however, back a few years ago when my graphics card was just new, I smoothed edges and thought it looked brilliant but I probably only thought so because OOH PURDY SHINY GRAPHICS OPTION etc.
Ichigo:
And these things are all well and understandable, but it seems as if though these things have increased. I might just be seeing things because buying a new graphics card so close to boyfriend's birthday smacks of DO NOT WANT.
Leticron:
One thing about graphics cards (and computers in general) that's easily overlooked by most:
they need to be cleaned once in a while (say once, better twice a year). Even more so if you have any kinds of furries in the house.
Increasing temperatures usually result in a slightly degraded picture quality at first.
Are you sure it's the graphics card tho? An aging CRT monitor for instance could be the culprit as well.

I would never allow furries in my house, but I could see where those retarded fursuits would lead to cleanliness issues.

Are you sure you just don't need your vision checked? Try posting a screenshot. True graphics card artifacts create visible marks in the screenshot that will be visible to outsiders. Things like bad monitors, loose cables, and your poor vision, won't. If we can't see it, it ain't there.
