Refresh Lines

mogster · July 22nd, 2006, 22:28

Why on a new installation of windows with a super graphics card and cpu, am I getting frame refresh lines on videos?, you know where the image gets fast, then you see lines as the frame changes?
How can I fix this?

you'd normally see this in a much slower PC wouldn't you, even my 1GHz didn't give me this on videos...

you haven't accidently set the monitor refresh rate too low in the display properties? Anything less than 75Hz is not advisable.

It was at 75Hz, I tried 85hz, no difference, and that's not what I mean, not scan lines...
There all over the Ubisoft logo on Heroes 5, it's like when you play high definition WMVs on a 1Ghz machine, you see al the frames layer over each other quickly and see loads of lines. I've got super PC so it shouldn't be happening

The more triangles are used, the finer the detail levels. Truform creates a curved surface between triangle points, so the user experiences curved lines, but the main software still only has to render triangles. It is designed to increase visual quality, without significantly impacting frame rates.

I loves me some Wiki

I can put the texture preference and mipmap detail up to high guality, but I leave it on quality, because while it does look a tad nicer, it seems to render vertical sync useless...and then all the videos are flicky on fast bits...
Anti-alaising and all that are set to let the game decide... I've turned up the settings on all of my games, it makes no difference on the speed
