How D folks. OK so I am having graphic issues with Max Ultra Mode for reasons I cannot fathom. It surrounds everything with, well blocks basically. When I use the recommended settings the game looks really good. OK here is what I am running...

Windows 7 64-bit
AMD Phenom II x4 Quad 3.2 GHz CPU
8 Gigs DDR3 RAM
2 ATI 5770s (with the up-to-date 10.6 drivers)
Directx 11 (backwards compatible)


Any suggestions?

Yes. Turn off Anti-Alaising or Ambient Occlusion.

Doesn't matter which one you turn off, just turn off one of them.

For clarification: they don't work together.

Turning off ambient occlusion turns off the little shadows that gather in corners and the shadows that are darker where multiple shadows overlap.

Turning off anti-aliasing makes edges have jagged spots, not smooth 'natural' edges.

I always suggest keeping anti-aliasing and turning off ambient occlusion.

Is this ATI-specific or does this happen with nVidia cards too?

specific to ATi 5x00 series cards at the moment.

AA+AO has been fixed on the OpenGl 3.x cards: RadeonHD 2x00 - 4x00 series.

Depth of Field also causes some minor artefacts. I turn that off as well as Ambiant Occlusion and the game looks sharp again.

I turn off DoF because it makes it look like you have smeared glasses on. HATE that smeary-blurry effect.
