I upgraded to 8.1 from 8 the other day, and while I can't prove it it seems like the desktop graphics (AMD Radeon) look much worse. It's a weird effect kind of like pixellation but not quite - almost as if there was 2d anti-aliasing that got turned off somehow.

Anyone else see this? If so, anyone find a fix?

    Can you at least put a screenshot or something? It's not clear what you are talking about.

  • It's worth noting that the upgrade to Windows 8.1 also upgrades your graphics drivers in every instance I've come across so far. This was especially noticed on Arqade where nVidia's Stereoscopic 3D settings were enabled as a result of upgrading to Windows 8.1 - this change in drivers is likely the cause of your issues as well.

  • Are you using the 13.9 stable drivers? Those are the first stable drivers to include support for Windows 8.1.

  • That picture to me looks like 8-bit color depth, not sure of that was intentional or not (other than that it looks better than the 2nd one...) Oct 21, 2013 at 4:26
  • Propose a metric or unit for "worse" or "much" or "weird" or "pixellation" or "not quite". Go on, I dare you. ;) Oct 21, 2013 at 20:42

Set the DPI Scaling back to 100% to get the same view like in Windows 8.
