Sorry if this is the wrong forum...with the new board structure I can't find where to post a tech problem.

I just replaced a 5 year old HP, with a new Velocity Micro PC with an Nvidia 512MB GeForece 9800GT. Native resolution on the monitor is 1440x900, which I matched in CoH.

The graphics look terrible compared to the 5 year old HP, which shouldn't be the case. I have tried tweaking resolutions and other settings, but it looks pretty bad. I'm running on Windows 7, but have another computer running CoH on Windows 7 that looks great.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks

This is the forum for technical questions.

But for understanding your setup, you should download and run COH Helper, and then post the result here.

Check out this thread, Common Solutions & Posting Guidelines


Then post the results of these two programs:

  • CoH Helper - (posted above, too) it will show us basic computer settings and your CoH configuration.
  • HijackThis - it will show us what's running on your computer concurrently with CoH. Click on "Do a system Scan and save a logfile." It will automatically open up Notepad and put the info there. Make sure Wordwrap is off in Notepad (Format > Wordwrap unchecked) before you cut and paste here.
