AdmiralSpiffy Posted February 18, 2011 Share Posted February 18, 2011 I just recently started using a new laptop with an ATI Mobility Radeon 5600/5700 series graphics card. For the first few days, Fallout New Vegas ran at 60FPS on High settings with no real issues. A few days ago, ATI released the new drivers for my graphics card, and ever since then, textures have been blurry and unmistakably lower resolution than they were previously. http://media.photobucket.com/image/pip%20boy%20low%20resolution/darkstarrdp/misc%20stuff/ScreenShot0.jpg (For example, my pip-boy looks like this.) Downloading the driver didn't solve anything, neither did reinstalling New Vegas. After reading around for a solution, the only reason I could come up with is that my card is either dusty or overheated, neither of which can really be possible considering this is a brand new machine. Has anyone else experienced such problems? Or could anyone think of a solution to mine? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jhardingame Posted February 18, 2011 Share Posted February 18, 2011 Did you go back in and reconfigure your game settings after the driver update? As annoying as it may be, sometimes you have to do that. I know I recently updated my drivers, and had to go and do that. Hope this helped.

AdmiralSpiffy Posted February 18, 2011 Author Share Posted February 18, 2011 Reinstalled the new drivers, reinstalling New Vegas now. I'll update again soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maniac3020 Posted February 18, 2011 Share Posted February 18, 2011 I don't know if this will be of any help, but sometimes, when I'm playing textures in a cell will be low-resolution, while the adjoining cells are normal. Restarting the game fixes this for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AdmiralSpiffy Posted February 18, 2011 Author Share Posted February 18, 2011 (edited) Reinstalled everything and i'm still encountering the same issue. No matter what display settings I choose, the textures remain static. This is likely a hardware problem, but I can't think of a solution. Maybe if I were to download a texture pack, the modded textures would replace the current broken ones?

Maniac3020 Posted February 18, 2011 Share Posted February 18, 2011 I'd suggest looking at your video setting in your ATI control panel, to see if anything there would override the settings in NV. If that fails, perhaps you could try rolling back the drivers and see if you still have the problem? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AdmiralSpiffy Posted February 18, 2011 Author Share Posted February 18, 2011 Issue's been resolved. As it turns out, the new drivers were breaking the textures. (wat) Thanks for all the help! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheTuna Posted June 19, 2011 Share Posted June 19, 2011 Bumping this because I've been having the exact same problem. I have an ATI Radeon Moblility 57xx as well, and mine suddenly started blurring and washing out textures about twenty-four hours ago. I updated my drivers from 11.2 to 11.6, but the problem persists. Any advice? I may try rolling back my drivers to an earlier version, but the problem persisted under both versions; should I roll back to an earlier model?

eksynn Posted July 15, 2014 Share Posted July 15, 2014 necro-ing this. since no one was nice enough to say how they fixed it. (aka, OP) if you're still around, how did the drivers break the textures? and how did you fix it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
