screenshot 3

is something wrong with the game ? something with the video driver versions ? i have 66.93 , 71.84 , 71.90 , 73.00 and 76.50 drivers . the game was patched with 1.1 and 1.2 .

compare it with the screenshot of UG 1 below :

what say ?

thanks ,

from what i can see....the UG2 screenie is taken a quite low setting whereas the UG1 screenie is taken at quite high settings.

Also from personal exp....UG2 graphics are way ahead of UG1 there is no comparison...UG2 wins hands down.

Also please state ur system specs n the resolutions n settings at which the screenie's are taken

what driver are you using ? the screenshot is pretty nice .. can you take another one ( IN 1024x768 resolution ) with the car facing sideway in highway ( where you can see several street lights ( lamps ) )
 
have you checked if fsaa is full in your game options ? i ve posted a screenie as well in the in game screen shot thread at 1025*768 , have a look. am using a 9800pro though
 
make sure that the anti aliasing option isnt off (set to controlled by game) when you check the card advanced settings when you choose protperties when rightclicking on the desktop
 
saw your pic ( http://img290.echo.cx/img290/3871/untitled15zq.jpg ) , bottle . it looks like my graphics arent any better/worst than yours . i am definitely missing something here the worst part is the graphics sucks in ug2 than ug1 . can anyone clarify ? Wraith had posted a excellent screenshot but i am missing something . please tell me your driver version . i will download if i dont have it and try it out !!

thanks

thanks alot man i did that . the car reflection is great now but it still not better than the ug1 graphics
 
wraith i noticed a lot of artifacts in your screen shot, what speeds are you runnning your card at ?
 
thanks Wraith for the screenie . i noticed that my street lamp lightning is of pinkish color

oh yeah i didnt notice the artifacts :D

anything other than a driver update can be done ??

btw , the menu in the Underground 2 game is abit slow when the display settings is 1024x768 resolution however its fine because in the game , its fine . Doom 3 high setting 1024x768 is pretty amazing over here and this game still surprises me lol
 
something is wrong here.
I know that if you do not apply patch the graphics are crap with anything above 66.xx series of forcewares.
This looks exactly like the kind of GFX you get without patch 1.2
Reinstall the game and directly apply patch 1.2.

Those artifacts are the XFX 6600GT AGP problem....waiting for a replacement

here is a screenie @ 1024x764

are the artifacts cos of overheating? Did you get the xfx 6600gt agp with the old or new cooler?

I dont see any artifacts on the screenie of wraith ? Am I missing something ?

If you can't make out the tiny artifacts on the 1024 res screenie then take a look @ the 1600*1200 screenies. You will notice visual artifacts all over the place.
 
You mean the barely visible black dots ? Normally if the memory overheats it snows, IE white dots, and if the core overheats then visible artifacts occur. Does it happen in all the games ?
