[SOLVED] Screen with blur

Hey guys, with the latest updates of the nvidia driver my screen started to blur. How do I fix that?
I've tried to off these options

 {ForceCompositionPipeline=On, ForceFullCompositionPipeline=On} 

, provided by wiki to solve tearing and it solved the blur, but screen tearing become again a problem.
My 20-nvidia.conf

Re: [SOLVED] Screen with blur

The only suspicious thing is the "1360x768" modeline, rather that it *should* be used.
Is the output still "blurry" when you "xrandr --output DVI-I-0 --mode 1360x768"?

If so
a) get any compositor out of the equation, if it's not toggleable  (that's probably not a woerd ;-) w/ your WM, try using openbox or so
b) can you capture the blurriness in a screenshot?
c) otherwise, can you make a photo showing the effect?
