Graphics Problem

sos_85 · 09-08-05, 09:14 AM

Hi,

I'm a little concerned. I have an ATI Radeon X800 Pro 256Mb Graphics card, 512Mb RAm (i realise the recommended is 1024Mb) and a 2.8Ghz P4 processor, yet my graphics still don't look that great, the edges of the ships are jagged, and its just not what i expected from this sort of card. I have all the latest drivers for my card. What can i do? Cheers

You can attempt to increase the Anti-Aliasing.

This can be done in the control panel for your video card, i believe under display properties.

I don't have an ATi card anymore, i haven't for years so i'm not sure how they operate now days.

Have you got Anti-Aliasing settings turned on, and anostrophic filtering etc, with your specs you should be able to have them on prettyhigh? I have a Radeon 9700 pro and slower PC than you and it looks fine on mine, should be fine on yours with right settings.

Go here makesure you have all the stuff recommened. You can change Anti-Aliasing settings by using the CATALYST Control Center plus numerous other performance and quality settings!
