Video- Letter ghosting/fuzzy no matter what settings/Hz are used

1. Enable clear type. (Control Panel --> Display --> Appearance --> Effects -->2nd option)
2. Use the default resolution of the LCD screen

Game play-Counter Strike Source, decreased fps no matter what settings are used.

You're playing games with a nongamer card. Granted its the 1300Pro which is significantly improved over the 1300, it's still not gonna be happy-happy.
