ATI Radeon Graphics Card

The place to ask for help or solve each others technical issues and discuss hardware

Postby Barrington » Thu Mar 19, 2009 5:08 pm

cool.gif Have just installed an ATI Radeon HD 4850 Ice Q4 Card with 1 gig on board.
Having had NVidia Gforce 8800GTS before, I am floundering with settings at present.
My system is:
Gigabyte high end motherboard
Intel Core Dual 6600CPU
4 gig ram
High end Power Supply
22" Viewsonic flat screen

Would anyone be able to offer some settings as a start point as the 3d settings format
is very different to NVidia.

the settings are the same as the nvidia ones. Anti aliasing should be 4x, Anisotropic filtering 8x. Leave buffering at stock.
These are all accessed in the 3D tab on the catalyst control center
