    Whenever I switch from the intel gpu to the 6770M the text in some applications gets distorted. It's fine on the intel but on the 6770M the font seems to get distorted to that of something similar to a tropical-esq font, also effects in-game steam and firefox.

    For a better understanding of what I'm trying to say. Not the most obvious of things but if you scrutinize a bit you can see the distortion/blur in the second image.

    Wow that is very strange. I just tried switching GPUs and opening chrome, internet explorer, and Steam, but it doesn't seem to be happening to me. I am using the dual core i5 though.

    from the top of my head it looks like it could be one of two things - your resolution on 6770m isn't 1366x768 (most likely 1360x768 instead), switch it around if that's the case.

    or, it can be that you have morphological anti-aliasing on in CCC. Turn that off and see if it helps.

    Yep,just use the default anti-aliasing etc... gaming settings from CCC and it should be back to normal.
