Yeah....I noticed how the reflections and shadows in console games are better than teh PC version. Why is that? I compare my most of my games to the console versions and they just don't match up. My computer is pretty pricey so I know I am not outdated when it comes to hardware, but the reflections and shadows appear all retarded when playing my games.
Example: While I play Call of Duty 4, I walk through the level where I save this Nic guy and while I turn a corner in a house, my shadow will appear on the wall because of the lighting. But when I stare at my shadow and walk around back and forth just looking at it. It just appears all boxy.
Example 2: While playing GRID, when I switch the camera angle to "hood" view, the hood will show the reflection of the various objects/buildings that I pass by. But the reflections also share the same problem of the shadows. Boxy. I can still see what the shadow/reflection is, but it just appears boxy around the edges.
At first I thought this was just some flaw for DX 9 but I played GRID on a Vista and COD on a XP so I can't see what the matter is.
I'm not sure if I have to tweak around with my graphic settings but I built this computer to be better than the ps3 and laugh at my cousin in the face. But seeing these flaws, I just can't do that, maybe a semi-laugh, but I just can't do that. So does anyone else have this problem and fixed it and is willing to share with me their wonderful computer skills?
btw this would be more accurate if I include some specs to go along with my loooooooong question.
specs:
MSI P35 Platinum Combo Motherboard
Conroe E6850 3.0 GHZ Intel Core 2 Duo Processor
XFX Nvidia GeForce 8800 GTS 512 MB GPU
3 gig of RAM
700 watt PSU
and...
uh......
I guess that's it. Thank you for reading this and I hope you can help me. Thank you!
