Why does video look worse on my PC after card upgrade?

Answer 1

did you actually install the new driver and uninstalled the old driver ?

Answer 2

Download teh correct drivers

Choose the GeForce 5xxx series and XP (or whatever OS you have)

Install and done

Answer 3

1st step in any hardware problem is to make sure your video drivers are up to date.  

If that doesn't fix the problem i'm not sure what to tell you.  Was your old card on the motherboard?  if so you should try to disable it in the bios or something.
