    Hi
    I installed a new MSI 970a g43 motherboard.
    I'm using a Asus ati Radeon HD 5450 1Gb graphics card.

    The resolution on my Dell St2210 21.5 inch monitor is 1920x1080.
    It is set to this resolution but the text is tiny.
    When I change the DPI setting to increase the text size, the text becomes blurry and not crisp.

    All drivers are up to date when I go into device manager.
    It's like when I change the dpi setting from 135% and above it increases size but is not crisp looking. Any setting under that and the text is too small.

    Any ideas?

    Anyone?
    Would I be better off getting a better graphics card?

    Is it definitely set to the native resolution of the screen?

    try clicking 'my digital flat panels' in catalyst control centre and enabling gpu scaling there if its not already enabled.

    reset the dpi to default.. go back to catalyst again and set your monitor to a lower resolution and apply.. then set the gpu scaling to centered or something and hit apply again.. now change back to your native resolution. check to see if gpu scaling defaults to 'scale image to full panel size'

    Cheers. I think that is much better.
    Enable GPU scaling is ticked and scale image to full panel size is default. That right?
    Thanks again
