Title: Not a bug...just can't find a gui setting
Post by: bj229r on December 26, 2016, 08:44:52 PM
to make enemy icons visible--they a darkish transparency to them that simply eliminates my ability to pick them out of the ground clutter and shoot them. Are there card settings i ought be looking at here? Dunno (GTX 750)

Have you tried changing the colors of the enemy countries?

also turning down the antialison setting sharpens them up and makes them stand out more.

Disabling anti-alias in the graphic settings will sharpen the ICONS up.

When I was testing in the closed alpha for about 18 months, I used an HD 6770 which your GTX 750 has about 300 shaders less. But, your band width and data paths are the same. I ended up having to turn off post lighting if I really wanted to see the icons. You may need to increase your gamma. I found first adjusting gamma at the desktop then gamma in the game gave good results. Also I reduced the texture mode to 1024. If I over clocked I could get 85 Gbyte\sec and run the game in 2048 mode. Still, that really over heated the card.

GTX 750
RAM GDDR5
Data Paths - 128bit
Shaders - 512
Band Width - 80.2 Gbyte\sec.

HD6770
RAM GDDR5
Data Paths 128bit
Shaders - 800
Bandwidth - 82 Gbyte\sec.

Besides AA setting, the only way I found to make them more "solid" was to increase font size for them. 

Color changing helps...I found  yellow to be nice except in twilight.

Thanks for the replies....I think I'll prolly grab a 950 in the next month or so. The 750 I have is 2 years old, and it was a year or 2 behind when I got it

Why 950? The new 1050 would outperform that for the same price. Or rather a Ti, still in the same category.

Dobs, you linked to a comparison between 950 and 1060. There's a whole lot of difference there, especially price.

I was talking about the #50 series: http://gpuboss.com/gpus/GeForce-GTX-950-vs-GeForce-GTX-1050 (http://gpuboss.com/gpus/GeForce-GTX-950-vs-GeForce-GTX-1050) shows them as equal performers, http://pcpartpicker.com/products/video-card/#c=329,379&sort=a8&page=1 (http://pcpartpicker.com/products/video-card/#c=329,379&sort=a8&page=1) tells that the newer is much cheaper.

I haven't looked into it hard yet, I assumed the 950 was 6 months to a year removed from the newest stuff, and I've seen them for $150 or so (Another problem is making sure it fits my Cooler Master 130 breadbox)....these $400-500 video cards amaze me (That...people SPEND that much)

Single fan card should fit most cases.
