Olham 164 Posted December 25, 2009 (edited) Without being anything like an expert, I can only show you my settings: SMOOTHVISION HD Anti-Aliasing: 8x SMOOTHVISION HD Anisotropic Filtering: 8x Catalyst AI: (untick: Disable) Advanced Mipmap Detail Level: Quality or High Quality (try, what runs smoother) Wait for vertical refresh: Off, unless application specifies Adaptive Anti-Aliasing: (Tick: Enable) Quality Open GL Settings: (not used) For the Open GL Settings, I'm not sure, if it would work together with the other stuff, and if it would add more quality. Does anyone know? Edited December 25, 2009 by Olham Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Venator 0 Posted December 25, 2009 (edited) ... Wait for vertical refresh: Off, unless application specifies ... AFAIK, "Wait for vertical refresh" should be always 'on', unless you're running a CRT monitor... Catalyst Control is OK, but ATI Tray Tools (shareware) provides more flexibility (if you weren't already confused) and the ability to have GPU specific profiles for each sim that automatically configure when the .exe is initialized. This is in case you move between new sims but can really push the envelope with old sims. Edited December 25, 2009 by Venator Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Olham 164 Posted December 25, 2009 Thanks, Venator - as I said, I'm far from being an expert. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

appraiserfl 0 Posted December 26, 2009 missing textures with ATI driver settings. Can any expert assist please. thanking you M What Operating System are you running. I am running 9.12s with vista and 9.12 hotfix with Windows7 and I do not have any missing texture issues. But Vista works much better with my sapphire 5970 than windows 7 does.

I am running the dell adapter which can be found here: http://accessories.us.dell.com/sna/products/Cables/productdetail.aspx?c=us&l=en&s=bsd&cs=04&sku=330-5521 You can find out more about adapters in this forum here: http://www.widescreengamingforum.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=64&t=16942 And an active discussion of the 9.12s here: http://www.widescreengamingforum.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=64&t=17767 If you have an active adapter then you may need to do this trick. Try disabling all screens except for one and then go to CCC, Destops & displays, and then click on the black triangle in the upper right corner of the virtual screen for the single enabled screen, select display group, select create group, and then select 3x1 and then it should reset. If it resets make sure that the monitor is turned on for the third monitor that you are not getting a picture, because my third dell has a habbit of going into sleep mode and the window to tell it to accept the changes is dispalyed on that monitor and you would never see it unless you make sure the monitor is powered on after you select the group change.
