When the new drivers are installed the settings are usually set to quality.
To double check your settings do this:
Right click on your desktop in an empty area, click properties, then the settings tab, check to see that it's at least 1024x768 and 32 bit.

If you need more advanced settings then hit advanced in that same area.

I see what you were saying now. Yes the quality will be a little blurrier than what you would expect. They are rendering a ton to make it look so realistic. Thats why they have all that fog there to help also. You can also try the rendering resolution at a lower figure to make things seem clearer. I find it default seems best for me. Is a very different and unusual game.

yah when i played i turned my resolution and up to 1280x1024 and the other res up to 1024x1024 and that did away with the jagged lines ... but i must say it is the best out o the bunch to me(2 is great 1 is awesome 4 yet to play)... and the fuzz effect i think is really cool

Some times I recommend to uninstall and reinstall the games. The games will detect optimal settings for your video card. If not then you must make the changes per game.
Nvidia has great flexibility for tweaking performance settings. Buy a more recent game to truly test your vid card......I recommend Team Fortress 2..it's only $29.99 and it tons of fun to play.
