    Blurry/Fuzzy text on Windows 8.1

    Hello
    The text on my screen have suddenly become blurry. I've tried adjusting ClearType-text and that didn't change anything.
    Also looked into dpiscaling but that didn't seem to help either.
    This problem just appeared after I started my PC and I can't remember I've done any such changes at all.
    I need some ideas of what to try to get that text sharp and clear again.

    PC Specs:
    CM Storm Stryker | Asus Z97 Deluxe | i7-4770K@4.3Ghz | Seidon 120V
    MSI GTX 970 (2x SLI) | HyperX Fury 1866Mhz 2x8GB
    XFX Pro 850W | Crucial M500 SSD 480GB | Seagate Barracuda 2TB

    Screen: ASUS ROG SWIFT PG278Q
    Resolution: 2560x1440, 144hz

    The blurry text is most noticable on the dekstop. The text under the icons.
    And also in the top menu in chrome and internet explorer (adressbar, bookmarks, tab titles)

    I wouldn't jump to the conclusion that you have a defective gpu, but it couldn't hurt to try and rule it out.
    Try using the 2nd gpu without sli and see if the problem persists.

    Yeah I think I'll do that during the night if I don't find any other way to fix it.
