Windows 10: nVidia cards and ClearType - Not that clear...

Hello guys.

I have been trying (with little success) to fine tune screen output readability by invoking cttune.exe.
On my GTX 1070 card some white text (like the one inside nVidia CP) is displayed with an annoying greenish hue. I would like to know if there is some other way of tuning ClearType without cttune.exe.

I have seen other cards (even internal Intel ones and AMD) where ClearType is just fine out of the box.

Any ideas on how to tune it?

IE9: ClearType forced on

Is your problem on this iiyama ProLite E2607WS-1 (1920x1200 26" LCD)? I'm surprised. Or are you operating the monitor in portrait mode?

May i suggest setting display dpi to 120, then run cleartype tuner (download from MS)

Of course, we wouldnt need to bother with cleartype if we had higher pixel density displays! *Pimp imp:

 

Clear Pagefile on Shutdown


I've been looking into clearing the pagefile, and I found the following steps at a somewhat dated webpage:

1. In the registry editor, navigate to: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Session Manager\Memory Management
2. Set ClearPageFileAtShutdown to the REG_DWORD value of 1.
3. Restart Windows.

I'm just wondering whether those steps are still valid, and, if so, does clearing the pagefile work as advertised?
