The patterns I linked should make that clear. They should be uniform without artifacts.

I've checked that page and adjusted monitor settings and it is doing 1:1 pixel mapping now, thanks.

I have also been playing around with some different DVI -> VGA adapters, had one from an old ATI Radeon graphics card (X1600PRO) and there's been some improvements in image quality so it turns out it is noise coming from the poor adapter that comes with EVGA (btw, have you ever heard about 2D quality issues affecting factory overvolted cards such as EVGA SC and MSI Lightning cards? some people have reported things like factory overvolted cards tend to warm monitor/image up faster resulting in slight pink tinge on the screen which I also noticed moving from Sapphire to EVGA SC -> http://hardforum.com/showthread.php?t=1694153).

Also, I'm a bit confused about this whole analog/digital discussion and adapters since I'm aware back in the day when it was all about analog output (VGA), cards which had better RAMDAC chips would result in better 2D quality but it seems not to be the case now as everything turned to digital. Is that even right? I mean, not quite sure but DVI to VGA adapters actually don't convert anything, all it does is send the already analog signal through some selected pins? Now with that said, there may still be some variance in 2D quality going from card to card (brands), even with newer/current ones, correct (or at least via analog signal that is) ? It's confusing because people have been reporting this kind of thing even with DVI/HDMI which are digital cables. So I guess my question is: does my EVGA GTX650Ti SC send analog or digital signals via the DVI-I output or actually both?
