My friend just bought a GeForce 8500 GT 512mb card and the result was a blurry screen. He has a Viewsonic 22" widescreen monitor. Any ideas?
 
I believe he has the monitor set to the native res (1680x1050) and I know he has the latest drivers. I believe he is using VGA (although I'm not sure), but it seems that his problem is worse than a little less sharp display.

I have the exact same computer and monitor as my friend, but I have a 7600 GT and it works fine on my computer. He seems to think the problem is a flaw in his motherboard, is this a concern?
 
As noted by SNGX1275, the display could potentially be fuzzy because he isn't using DVI. Try that before having concern about anything being broken.
 
Tell him to switch to DVI, there is no good reason to use VGA at all with that card and monitor. If the problem is still there then we can look at other possibilities. Although I don't think the motherboard has anything to do with this.
