Games automatically set at lowest setting

I think it probably is because the card is too new for the games to recognise so they default to the lowest, most compatible settings.

mine does the same so its not a problem with your setup unless both of ours are setup incorrectly.

i would go with dukedave just get any latest patches and drivers

besides i never use default settings depending on the type of game i will turn settings down to improove speed or turn them up to make it look nicer

Check your display driver's settings.. Normally its set to a default (balanced) preset.. Check to see if yours is set on "Performance" or something, coz that would set everything on the lowest quality settings in games so that you can achieve best performance...

If you set it to "Best Quality" or whatever, the default quality settings in games would be higher.. Also some of the new games auto detect the "correct" settings, so ensure that you drivers are up to date to ensure that this feature works properly...
