RakeHoxven Posted February 23, 2012 Share Posted February 23, 2012 I went to Ilum and was getting lower fps with the big battles so I decided to lower all my settings to the lowest possible. I was surprised to discover that the lowest settings actually looked better than the highest settings. I went to the fleet to test it and a few different worlds and it seems to hold true for now. So I'll be playing on the lowest settings from now on on my cutting edge computer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Game looks a thousand times better. Edited February 23, 2012 by FLScuddie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dokiardo Posted February 23, 2012 Share Posted February 23, 2012 I run a big LED monitor also. It could be the rendering on the LED. I don't think you know what you're talking about. Your backlight wont make any difference to the 'rendering'. But shadows and shaders make a big difference to how the game looks. I prefer them off, game looks better to me. But you're telling me with AA and AF off, and low textures the game looks better? umm ok? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RakeHoxven Posted February 23, 2012 Author Share Posted February 23, 2012 (edited) could be.. the only led screen experience i have is on my phone. I got mine on Black Friday. Even old games look good on it. Glossy textures don't look so good so that could be why low settings look better for my rig.] edit: I don't think you know what you're talking about.

But you're telling me with AA and AF off, and low textures the game looks better? umm ok? just tested every settings. Everything low and off does look better for me. The only setting that can be turneed high is textures. Everything else does not look as good on as off in my opinion.

Bloodtau Posted February 23, 2012 Share Posted February 23, 2012 To be fair, the game looks like *** no matter what setting you run it on. A Q4 2011 released game that looks similar to games released in mid 2005, ok then, gg. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Outboard Posted February 23, 2012 Share Posted February 23, 2012 I solved the problem of making this game look better i was noticing blurry edges , nothing particularly crisp , no detail in the grass and the trees not having clearly defined leaves, hairy animals not having detailed coats just a general almost out of focus look to the game my system is not top end but it is fair , i5 processor, 8 gig memory, 6870 graphics card,27" LCD monitor it only cost me $200 to get everything crisp sharp and clear I went to an optometrist and got a pair of glasses Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RakeHoxven Posted February 23, 2012 Author Share Posted February 23, 2012 Hmmm, ok. And where's the other $1500 worth of equipment? um. there isn't a game on the market that I won't run at max settings and not get over 60fps. What would I do with more power... run a hawaiin island?

MMO's are typically a little lacking in the graphic dept. I thought SWTOR's graphics weren't bad and I'm picky as **** Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
