Francisco Obregon 1004310 Posted February 1, 2008 at 10:03 AM Posted February 1, 2008 at 10:03 AM I just got a new laptop (specs below), So far I haven't had any technical errors and Vista runs pretty smooth, I installed VRC clean, no errors perfect, to find a pretty jagged out screen. This is how it looked on my old graphics card ( ATI X1400 ) Compared to the new ( NVIDIA GeForce 8600M ) * No it's not that bad in the colors, It's just paint that messed it up. This happened to me some time ago , but I can't remember How I fixed it. I have played with the settings and all I have moved is the AA and the AF, I have them at 8x and have move them to 16x to see if that changed anything. But the NVIDIA control panel is pretty sucky, not that much options. NVIDIA GeForce 8600M GT 256MB Intel Core 2 Duo 1.86 Blah 4GB RAM DDR2 DX10 Vista 64bit Any help appreciated!

Ross Carlson Posted February 1, 2008 at 03:18 PM Posted February 1, 2008 at 03:18 PM It's definitely Anti Aliasing that makes the difference. I've noticed that many Vista video drivers don't support OpenGL very well (which is what VRC uses to draw graphics) and it may be that your new driver just doesn't support AA in OpenGL. Personally I much prefer no antialiasing in VRC because it makes the text look a bit blurry.

Francisco Obregon 1004310 Posted February 5, 2008 at 03:16 AM Author Posted February 5, 2008 at 03:16 AM Ross, is there a maximum of AA VRC can take? For example I know Battlefield 1942 looks like [Mod - lovely stuff] with 16X, i have managed to fix other Windows Text with Cleartype and FS, but VRC remains. Any other ideas? BTW, I'm now on Windows XP, DX9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ross Carlson Posted February 5, 2008 at 04:12 AM Posted February 5, 2008 at 04:12 AM Not that I know of ... it should be dependent on your video card. The VRC code makes no restrictions, anyway.

Francisco Obregon 1004310 Posted February 5, 2008 at 05:05 AM Author Posted February 5, 2008 at 05:05 AM I guess the card is saying to me, Welcome to the nVidia 8 Series.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shawn Goldsworthy 925085 Posted February 5, 2008 at 05:09 PM Posted February 5, 2008 at 05:09 PM Jose the Nvidia 8 series works fine for me (8800GT). Just turn off the AA in the Nvidia control panel and and select to let the application decide what to use for AA. Then change the AA settings in your programs and it should work like a charm.
