  • Best settings for Radeon 9700 ?

    Ive had my Radeon 9700 for a few weeks now and Im very pelased with it but Im still convinced I can get more out of this card just by changing a few options in the display properties but dont know what Im changing :P so if anyone could point me in the right direction it would be great :)

      I hope a couple of the ATi boys get here soon as I'll be interested in this as well by the end of the week. :)

        It really depends on what you want, performance or quality?

              Well then, for middle of the road you will want to set those slider bars to the middle. Force 16-bit Z-Buffer, and support ktx buffer region extension. And for Direct X do the same with the slider and enable both options. Then for the extremes, slide the bars all the way to the left for Performance and disable all the options. For Quality slide all the bars to the right and enable all the options, and force 24-bit. ;) Have fun :thumb:

                      leave the AA off or close to the minimum - but you can crank up the AF, the way it has been implemented by ATi, there is a minimal performance loss. Then depending on the frame rates you're getting - you may want to slowly work on increasing the AA.
                      I don't think Truform is supported by that many games - I know Serious Sam SE is one - It did look nicer on my R8500 that it did on my GF4 - application preference will probably suffice for that one :thumb:
