Help! I bought a Radeon card

Post by ulani »

Hello
I've updated my graphics card from Nvidia 8600 GT to a Radeon 4770. All games have got a performance boost from the new card - except Ryzom. It may very well be that I am pretty clueless how to configure the card, or that Ryzom doesn't like Radeon.

OpenGL looks ugly, ie water is a mess, the texture is either missing or opaque.

So, I'm trying Direct3D. How do I force AA on the card? Setting it in the Catalyst Control Center doesn't do it. And I should get more than 20-25 fps on Highest settings on this card, right?

Please help, any suggestion is welcome. I'm a Radeon newbie.

create profile for ryzom exe. load the profile and launch ryzom.
i was able to get AA (and other) work in Ryzom that way.

i have 4650 and fps is around that too (high(er) settings, but not highest). CPU limited maybe ?
