Need some help

[Reid]

Hello community,

 

My name is Reid. I have been a longtime Lock On enthusiast. Well, a few months ago, I built a new build (specs are below). And, I used to have a 2.3GHz quad core and a 9800GTX+ with 4GB DDR3 ram and, quite frankly, it out performs my current system. Not sure why. I go inside of Lock On FC2 and the quality is just horrid for a 580. For that matter, it's just horrid in general. I have adjusted ingame settings frequently with minute success. I have my video control panel set to quality, and I had it set on application controlled, but it was worse.

 

I really want to get better quality out of this game, especially for having the system I have which with a 580 3GB, it should do better. My resolution is 1920 by 1080.

 

Maybe there is a tweak, or something you can advise. On any note, look forward to hearing from you, and have a nice day.

 

My Current System:

AMD 1090T @ 3.5GHz

GTX 580 3GB

8 GB DDR3 RAM

750TX PSU

TA890GXE Motherboard

are you sure you disabled the onboard video ?

make sure both 8 pin plugs are into the gpu

you didn't say which os your running either

also when that card is under load it can draw close to 500 watts

that doesn't leave you much power for everything else

I'm pretty sure I'm utilizing my 580 (the system is).

They are.

Windows 7 64 bit.

I don't think it's the PSU.

pretty sure doesnt cut it. you need to make sure the onboard video is disabled in the bios

believe me or anybody on these forums. you can never have a big enough PSU.

 

and by the way what kind of frame rates are we talking here

Please run a DxDiag (Start > Search > DxDiag, run that, then save to file and upload here through pressing Go Advanced and paperclip icon).

 

Do you have Dx9c installed (note: Dx11 is a different matter, not used by FC2)?

 

That said, can you define "horrid" and what exact quality issues you are experiencing? We have very little to go on through your post, unfortunately.

[Reid]

I have DX11 installed. DXDIAG is attached.

 

Well, when I flew with my old system in FC2, the quality was a whole lot greater than it is now. No texture blurs, high detail. And, now with this new rig, it's quite the opposite. Texture blurs, stutters in frames, just low quality. I'm not sure why, either; hence: the submission of this.

As a side note, can you please abstain from the colored text?

 

Can you take a screenshot and upload that? To allow an analysis of the graphical anomalies.

Do you have any settings forced through the driver? If so, that might be the issue (such forcing is unreliable) - especially mipmapping settings when it comes to the texture blurs you describe.

[Reid]

If you do not prefer colored text, I will discontinue the utilization of it.

 

Please check your private messages. I do not have any settings forced to my knowledge.

[EtherealN]

Please try without mods, just to eliminate something wonky having happened in their application.

 

Regarding forced settings, you should be able to right click on your desktop and select the Nvidia control center. It might be that it has done something weird to override this or other applications. If this is not the case, then you can of course also try actually forcing a quality mip-map setting and see if that solves the issue; usually it's the other way around, but it might be that the driver suite has defaulted into a performance mode and thus forced an overly aggressive mip-map setting generally.
