Hey folks .. well iam not tring to bash or complain to much
those who have read my post,the few there are,know i have tried and tried to be patient and get things working right.Iam now at my wit ends with this cards.All my games function fine.The problem is with the over all graphic quality like many others here i still play old games and they look like *ss now but newer onese seem ok.It seems to get worse with every beta driver.Half life is horrible the ground texture... no fix i have done it all every suggestion ...It happens on everything, benchmarking gamming .i cant fix itn no matter what drivers or tweakers I have tried a complete clean install of the orginal drivers "which should" work .I dont know how this problem even started.I think it happened when i tried the 7078 drivers, maybe its always been there and i never noticed/I notice it in everything now ...its like a motion blur or thin film line on every texture in the distance and its horrible and annoying, in every game most know what i mean,except ea sports NHL2001 which shocked me.Iam thinking of just reformating so i have a fresh windows dir and reg to work with but i dout that will do any good.So my only choice for another gamming card would be nvida which i really would rather not do.Also with ATI produceing warnings what would happen if they went out of buisness then its basically like we all have bad cards like 3DFX ... iam not saying that will happen its just crossed my mind.So iam confused as i have tried everything,iam not puter stuipd so i know what iam doing .. its my job to know puters inside and out but what iam i to do ..i do sometimes feel like iam the only one experincing this its odd and its driving me nuts.
So here is what i have do since iam open to suggestions
Complete clean install .. with all drivers
tried all the tweakers
turned off anistropic texturing
turned on FSAA .. which is always broken
turned off W-BUFFER
for counter strike turned off anistropic texturing
gl_texuremode "GL_LINEAR_MIPMAP_LINEAR" gl_ztrick "0" gl_dither "0" and soo on .. none of this works.
I hope to see some of this fixed.I think part of the problem is that most of these games were designed around direct x 7 iam wondering id running directx 8a is a problem .. i dout it thought... oh well what to do
i have WinME the 7089 drivers with directx8a
games are Half Life counter strike ,mod not retail
