Bad looking graphics 8800gts [solved]

[mike20002]

Hey,

Anyone know why my graphics look lite this?
Have seen other screenshots with much better quality.
I have tryed all sort of things, but nothing seems to work... :shrug:

Anyone have a good guide?

Have you enabled AA/AF? a faster graphics card wont magically improve the quality, but you CAN turn up the settings without it slowing down so much

Like what? Just increase Anistropic filtering to 16x and Anti Aliasing to ~4x. :thumb:

4x? my 7950GT can do 4x, its my CPU that holds me back at a full grid though, ive got an AMD 3700@3 GHz (which is actually faster than an FX57)

what do you have? if you've got a Core 2 Duo then set it do 16x AF and 8xAA

Just max AA and AF. 8800GTS can handle it with ease.

I have tryed that, but it doesnt seem like the settings change anything in LFS.
Im using nVidia Forceware 97.92.

The graphics card can handle it, but in a full grid his CPU would suffer, thus i say set it to four, but post what CPU you have

Heck, that card + Only 1280x1024, max out 16AA and 16AF on it! It should show NO slowdown, that card will eat LFS for breakfeast.

SOLVED!

1: Unsinstall graphics driver 97.92.
2: Install drivers from Leadtek CD FW Version 96.89.
3: Reboot machine.
