My monitor is all grainy pls help !

[Taco]

Hello my monitor and games with that looks all grainy, ive tested using a different monitor and it were no different. However my last pc didnt have this problem and i dont know why even on my old monitor didnt have the problem then but now it does and i just wanna play my games without the grain.

Install video drivers then see if that fixes anything

If it happens with both monitors, it's more likely a setting in your GPU software. A clean install using DDU may fix this issue.

FYI i tried reinstall the video card via windows but i dont know if thats the same thing.

EDIT : I only updated them now i see is there some steps i can see how to safely reinstall my video card.

There's your problem... Never use Windows to download drivers, go to your GPU manufacturer's website to obtain the latest ones.
http://support.amd.com/
http://www.geforce.com/drivers
https://downloadcenter.intel.com/

Once you have them, use DDU to clean all old video drivers from your machine

Hope that helps.

You talk about a "last PC"...so...
Is this pc new?
Is it a laptop or not?
If it is new Windows was pre installed or you had to install it yourself?

Yes, in NVIDIA Control Panel.
Did you set your screen resolution in your OS (and also within any Games) to the native screen res your Display was designed for?

How is the monitor connected to your videocard? What kind of cable is it? VGA/D-Sub, DVI, HDMI, DisplayPort?
