NFSMW graphics issues

smoogle · Post by **smoogle** » 16 Jan 2006, 07:09

I have the black edition and i have to turn the graphics down to low so that it doesn't become blocky. However, even on low it becomes blocky after a few minutes. I've played around with all the advanced settings and the only one that seems to give me the least problems is anti-alising. Even on low the graphics looks pretty good but once it starts getting all blocky it soon gets real irritating. Any help with this is very appreciated.

My specs are:
Pentium D 3ghz
1gb ddr2 ram
gforce 6600gt

try updating your GFX drivers to the latest version from:

that was the first thing i tried, along with re-installing direct-x 9.0c, unfortunately i still have the same problem

are you overclocking your GFX card?

also check the temperature of your GFX card when the game starts to go blocky.

I ahve a similar problem. Does it seem that the game loads and loads, and then when it is not loading, the graphics run smooth?
That is the prob I have.

i'm not overclocking it, but i'll check it the temperature. the game doesn't look like it's loading cause it's still running pretty smoothly but if you stop or crash into something the graphics goes back to normal.

Sounds like an issue with motion blur. Try turning it off, and if you don't know how, check here --> http://forum.nfsunlimited.net/viewtopic ... 73&start=0

thanks haz, i turned off motion blur and it helped, i was even able to turn the graphics up and drive around for a few minutes. Now i just have to play around with the settings and see if the problem re-occurs. It could also still be a heat issue because with high graphics settings my gpu is reaching temperatures in the high 60s(celcius), however i havn't had any problems with other high demanding games (eg. fable) with the graphics turned up high.

60Â°c is acceptable for your card, issues may come after75Â°C, nvidia says than the chip holds up to 120Â°C "i dont belive tht" just make sure ur card does not reach 75Â°

also tht 60Â°C is on idle? or load?
use "riva tuner" to monitor ur temp, u can set it to show the core temp when your playing

If it stops when you crash into something, then it's definitely the motion blur causing it (as this also stops when you do).
