SSD C drive
« on: February 20, 2017, 03:50:30 PM »
This is a copy of my C drive which is an SSD. Would this be causing resource problems? The symptoms I've been having are blurry ground clutter, minor warping, and difficulty seeing the red icons and even making out what plane it is.

I was think of restoring the drive to original condition and moving all the programs to another computer. Actually just moving the data. The programs are already on the other computer.

Any advice would be appreciated.

Getback, a DX report would be more helpful

Is this a Lenovo laptop with Windows 10? is the OS 32 bit or 64 bit?

Need to see size of SSD and know how much free space is left, and also see the pagefile

Having Quicken (isn't this a intuit software? Pretty sure it is) loaded in the background sure isn't helping

Sounds like a resolution problem to me.

The SSD will not cause what you are asking about.

A DXDIAG output would be a good start.  Yes, any Intuit software is going to cause a lot of bloat.

Have you tried disabling the "anti-aliasing" in the "Post Processing" options?

I found all the Anti-aliasing features and turned them all off in the Nvidia control panel.

It seemed better but this was off line. Another issue is my HDMI connected Monitor seems awfully bright. What can I do about that?

Additionally I set the resolution to 2048. I'm not sure if that is resolution. Then I put the HP monitor on gaming mode. The text size is n now 14. Then, finally I lowered the Gamma a hair. Seems better. I will get rid of Quicken from this computer. I have it on another anyway.

Once in the game, go to graphic options/advanced, and on the swing out you'll see the post lighting and such, turn those off.

Get back---SSD C drive should not matter on the matters bolded and in red from your post.

I find Yellow much easier to see...(except small period of sunrise/sunset where I click back to red usually)

Turn off Anti-Aliasing (IN GAME)..makes the font a little bolder.
Also via the GUI you can change the font size...

Minor warping is connect related--
Blurry ground clutter issue may be due to texture size (set in opening splash screen>Video Settings>)


Set it to Maximum (4096) and see if that helps. Also here is what I have set my graphics (in game to)....

GTX 980TI
Intel I7-6700K @4GHZ
32GB RAM
Fly at 3840x 2160 resolution
