yukon2k Posted August 30, 2005 Share Posted August 30, 2005 what are the best video card settings for mvp 2005, madden, and nba live as far as the anti aliasing, mipmap, vertical sync, anistropic filtering, trueform, etc settings to get the best quality out of these games? i'm using a ATI radeo 9800 pro 128mb card, windows xp, 512mb ram. right now i'm having a lot of problems. i had to reformat my hard drive, reinstall windows xp, reinstall all of my programs including zone alarm pro and norton anti virus, and mvp baseball 2005. since then, when i click on mvp baseball 2005 and get into the main screen, the right side of my screen pulses and the rest of the screen shimmers and flickers. i haven't gone as far as trying to play a game since i reinstalled everything ( it all worked perfectly fine before i reinstalled windows). when i try to play another game (sea war the battles demo) it flickers, contorts, and pixilates very badly. even when i open the ATI catalyst control panel and see the little video on the 3d and open gl adjustments, the little video also pixilizes no matter what settings i set.

Kccitystar Posted August 30, 2005 Share Posted August 30, 2005 What driver set are you using... From what I hear, the 4.12 drivers are the best for the 9xxx series Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The latest so far is a redone 5.7 cat but it beats the hell out of ati recent one. Omega drivers are the best for gaming.

yukon2k Posted August 31, 2005 Author Share Posted August 31, 2005 the game worked fine before i reinstalled windows xp and sp2. now, even when i open the ATI catalyst control panel and adjust the 3d & open gl settings, the little video is pixilated. i'll try the omega drivers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
