Blurry graphics with new driver 3.10 etc?

Blower · Dec 19, 2003, 01:01 PM

In Mohaa and COD, especially Mohaa mi graphics seem blurry and blotchy?
and if i look into the distance theres no real detail as normally with old driver version 3.4,s.
my card is a 9500 pro i turned off fast write and put it to AGP 4x which made it slightly better.Dunno what fast write does?
Plus what is the WDM file with the package as i installed the full package?

Windows XP home
9500 pro
amd athlon 3000 xp
512 ddr ram

Try and set your texture preference to "high quality" and your mipmap detail level to "high quality" also....it should help..

Blower · Dec 19, 2003, 01:54 PM

My level of asino is shite.
And its all set at high quality tryed other quality settings to a lower setting still no sucsess.

If you raises your aniso you should have "sharper" textures further away...

Blower · Dec 19, 2003, 02:02 PM

Dont larf but do i put a check in each box for asino and other 1.Lol im shite with pc,s.
asino open gl and 3d r set to 8x.

Your MIPMAP details will make distant textures/objects sharper if you increase the settings.
MIPMAP's are the background textures mostly, and have varying degrees of clarity as you
get closer to them...by running...driving....whatever... in your game(s).

Hmmm yeah it seems to be better now, just put asino 16x ,and aa on 4x for 3d and open gl .
Fast write and write combining r they any good or dont do much?
Theres loads of settings which i dont know what they mean lol.Just have to experiment i suppose and hope i dont mess owt up hehe.
Damn good forum this for big pc noobs like mi self who r just starting outish on pc,s.
