Guest DarkGreen16 Posted April 28, 2005 Report Share Posted April 28, 2005 Alright I have a strange problem that I would like to remedy. Now, in counter-strike: source with my geforce 420 go and the 71.89 drivers I get a strange "blur zone" thats on the ground in cs. Screenshot here Screenshot It's kinda hard to see but u can see that i underlined it. I tried turning antialiasing to 6x, textures to high, and anisotropic filtering to highest setting possible...didn't make one bit of difference. I seem to recall this happening in world of warcraft but I thought nothing of it cuz my graphic settings were so low (this was with 67 drivers i believe). So i guess i'm looking for two answers.... A.) Is this normal? B.) Can i fix it? Is this happening because it's a directx 9 game and I don't have a directx 9 card? thx in advance Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bill Posted April 28, 2005 Report Share Posted April 28, 2005 With that game, espically on a card that really only supports 2x AF (that is the max that mine supports, anyway) the ground should probably be blurry after a certain distance. While I have not played CS source, when I played HL2, the ground was only nice looking up close, far away it was blurry, this is because of my slow DX 7 card, and because the ground will blur anyway the further away from you it is. (even on a GeForce 680 ultra it will blur if you don't turn AF on) That is what anistropic filtering is for, but 2x will only get you so far. Do you have a PC with GF3 or a GF4 Ti, or better? Those cards should have better AF, so if you can run 6x or 8x AF, it will probably look much better, I don't think it is a driver bug, especially if you have tried multiple drivers. It also has to do with the engine, I could probably bet you $10 that Farcry and UT2004 have better, less blurry ground on a GF4 go. Sorry this really bugs you, I played through HL2 on my laptop and it looked pretty nice, except it took almost forever to load. Bill Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest DarkGreen16 Posted April 29, 2005 Report Share Posted April 29, 2005 That would explain why I didn't see a performance hit above 2x AF. Thx for the reply...i'm just glad u don't think its my graphics card dying. It's alot more noticeable when u are moving. I suppose I will get used to it after playing for a day or so. It's just going from perfect ground to blurry ground...very distracting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
