Sapphire Radeon HD 7870 GHz Edition 2GB Video Card

[Almazan187]

Hey guys, I have a question. I have my PS3 and my pc hooked up to my 1080p led tv, and when I play YouTube videos on my PS3, the resolution is amazing but when I play them on my pc they don't look as great. I also tried to play Far Cry 3 on my pc and the graphics were terrible and then the game froze up. How do I know if the graphics card is working?

right click on desktop, go to display properties and make sure your resolution is set at 1920x1080

it is.

Are you connecting via HDMI? Also, are you using the current 13.1 Catalyst drivers?

some tv's have gaming mode too

yes, I am using HDMI. I looked for updates but I found none.
