Shadows are jaggy in all games

[RuLeBre@KeR]

Hello all,

In almost every game iam playing ,shadows are jaggy and it is really irritating me while playing the games like assassins creed 2,batman arkham asylum,gta 4.

My system specs are as follows :

AMD Phenom II X4 965 BE
6870 1GB
2 gb ddr2 667mhz
17" HCL monitor

I can get good fps in all the games at high settings but the shadows are really bad and in assassins creed ,distant view is really bad like objects are appearing when iam getting nearer to them.

This problem is there with my old 9600gt card as well as with my new 6870 card. Is the problem related to monitor or the ram that i have now?

Are you sure they are on high ? The shadows I mean. Are the shadows the only thing that has these, jaggies ?

 

[RuLeBre@KeR]

Yes, all are at high settings including shadows but the shadows are jaggy and the distant view is also not good in some games like assassins creed 2 ,gta 4 .
It is like when i move forward some objects starts appearing but its not the case with Crysis 2 ,call of duty series etc...

In assassins creed 2 or brotherhood , the distant view is worst even though all are at high settings(including shadows) . The building texture is jaggy and so the shadows. Same problem with gta 4 too.

This might be a problem with your video card. You also mentioned that this happened with your old 9600 GT as well ?

Is your Anisotropic Filtering (I probably spelt it wrong) and your Anti-Aliasing on and if it is, to what level? What resolution are you playing the games at?

to get ridd of jagies on shadows you use softshadow and AA.

Have you reinstalled the game since changing video card? (IF you are doing this through steam it will have done it for you)

NVidia and ATI tend to have completely different installs.
The games often play but weird things can happen

 

[RuLeBre@KeR]

@Gman450 : Yes ,it also happened with 9600gt...
@JoshWS : Anisotropic fitering : 16x , Antialising :8x . I changed them in ATI catalyst control center. The max. resolution of my monitor is 1440*900 and iam playing at this resolution.
@Hexit : softshadow --- Is this a software? AA = antialiasing??
@hilltopmonk : I installed the games after replacing the card only. The problem is the same with both the cards.

Stupid thing to mention, but are all your drivers up to date?

 

[RuLeBre@KeR]

I downloaded the drivers one week back and i think all are new drivers.
Is it the problem of monitor or ram cuz my ram speed is very slow?

I doubt it's the ram, since ram is not responsible for AA/ATF, the gpu might use ram for storing data but the processing is all on GPU/CPU.
