Pandora Tomorrow - Video Card Question

[Mark W.]

I have a Dell XPS Gen II with 1 GB RAM and an ATI 9800XT card
When I play Pandora Tomorrow I see jagged edges on certain images (for
example when shimmying on a pole the edge of the pole is not smooth). I
have played with all the ati direct3d settings turned up and at the default
level. There is no difference in the image. The game is smooth but I
thought it would look better.
What am I doing wrong?

TIA

Mark

The Splinter Cell game engine doesn't support
http://www.widearea.co.uk/designer/anti.html so you can't get rid of the
jaggies. It's not your system.

Hmm and check the difference when you put on the night vision glass and off now you will complain...

Yes, but it won't be really smooth, that game majorly stresses your
system.

 

[Mark W.]

yes the picture is MUCH better looking without the goggles
My real problem is that the main character looks awful when he is "close-up"
looks very blocky like

I am baffled
This is a top of the line system
What do you need to play this game?

A 9800XT was top of the line months ago, it has been surpassed since
then.

 

[Mark W.]

so what do you recommend?
I mean the system is 2 months old

Why don't you try the demo and see for yourself? Are you that
desperate to spend money?

That will run it just fine i got a p4 2.8 with HT and a 9700pro and
far cry runs just fine,and that's with all the setting set all the way
up in the game and my video card setting are set all the way up,6x AA
and 16 AF with no lag at all

Have you tried the FarCry demo?

Also, I just recently upgraded to an ATI 9800 Pro video card and some folks
suggested that I try the RadLinker program. I like the fact that I can use
an icon for each game and set the desired ATI properties for just that game.
This way I don't have to keep going into my ATI system tray icon and keep
changing my graphic settings as I jump from Game X to Z.

BS. I have a 2.5GHz P4 with 1GB DDR PC3200 and a 9600XT and Farcry runs
great AND SMOOTH.
