fireman Posted January 5, 2007 Posted January 5, 2007 I am experiencing some graphical anomalies while playing (vectored chunks, rainbow colored textures, "snowy-type/static" looking screens, etc. I have an AMD64 3700+ and an nVidia 7800GT with a gig of Ram and use an LCD 19" set at its native res. Most of the settings within the game are high except water, civ traffic and heat blur (terrain may be at medium) I currently just use "application controlled" for Anti-Aliasing and Ansiotropic Filtering. Should I be overriding these using different values? (If so, what should I start with?) Or is there possibly something else Im overlooking. Any help would be apprecieated, I've just started playing this sim and it looks awesome. Id hate to have to turn down the "eye candy" in order to play it. I would assume that my system should be able to handle it.
VMFA-Blaze Posted January 5, 2007 Posted January 5, 2007 Try rolling back your drivers to an older configuration, I would use a driver cleaner first.. But even after you clean everything up your still going to get shimmering effects, like around land mass, the waves will shimmer.. This is inherent to NVidia cards, Ive even seen it happen in IL2 around the cockpit instrumentation.. The effect has finally been resolved with the release of the NVidia 8800 series, but these cards are still rather pricey... ~S~ Blaze intel Cor i7-6700K ASUS ROG MAX VIII Extreme G.Skill TridentZ Series 32 GB Samsung 850 Pro 1TB SATA II ASUS GTX 1080/DIRECTX 12 Windows 10 PRO Thrustmaster Warthog Oculus Rift VR
fireman Posted January 7, 2007 Author Posted January 7, 2007 thanks, the 4x AA and 4x AF made a HUGE difference (an average FPS of 15-30 is now 35-55 with spikes into the hundred range when not much is going on) I don't know what the card uses when selected to Application controlled but this manual control has made a difference. I'm gonna move each setting up a notch until it gives me grief again so that I know what my limits are...... thanks again.
