Must be nice to have a good video card.

I have never experienced this luxury.
Gopostal said he was going to send me one. I guess that's not happening anymore since he hates me. :wink:

You go Chef! Yeah, that max resolution is not high enough. Maybe you are restricted by the monitor. Otherwise, you should be able to go up to some crazy high number. Make ure you installed the vid card's drivers.

K, my response was directed at your max res. That is way too low. You have something set wrong.

It is the max my UT can handle without acting funny.
If i put it to resolution higher i get::
UT booted up in a minimized window around 400X And the menu bar is missing.
My monitor is a 17 i think.
I need a new card.

U even can play UT without a videocard.
I think you set something wrong because with a 17 inch you can play 1280x1024 or at least 1024x768.
I've got 17 inch to..

Install

Post by Hermskii » Wed Oct 29, 2008 8:22 am

When was the last fresh install? Have you used my manual to install UT and tweak the graphics? It is pretty good.

I just made a new install and i am limited to 800X600. :evil:

I did not use the S3texture tutorial cause this is the install i use ED from.
So i cant use the special textures.
But i did use the tweak your graphics thread at BuF.
I am using the enhanced OGL render.

I find it strange that i cannot get 1024X768 like i used to.
Yet this is a different card then i used to have.
