I discovered that my GT 710, which is not good on both Windows 7 and 10 (build 1507), is totally fine on Windows XP (VGA connection). I then tried the same driver version on 7 and 10, too, but that didn't help. The difference in eye comfort is pretty huge. I wonder if other new cards that don't work for you, would work on XP. The latter which admittedly has drawbacks other than eye strain, like no updates, and limited software compatibility. However, it seems most new games that still use DirectX 9 can run on XP without officially saying so.
