How to improve the schedule?

Not enough good graphics - a problem, probably,every gamer. No matter what the excellent characteristics of a PC PC amateur computer games, it is always small. Of course, in most cases, the problem is solved directly by updating the video card, but there are also software methods for improving graphics. In addition, if we talk about the hardware side of the issue, it's not always the case in the video card. In this article, we'll show you how to improve graphics with software, and with which devices you can achieve this.

Hardware

As we mentioned above, the easiest wayimprove graphics - buy a new video card with more powerful features. You can immediately go to the store and ask the seller to recommend the optimal card, but you can preview or read reviews on this topic.

Improve the graphics can also be due to increased memory and the purchase of a more "pumped" processor.

Balanced system

It is important to understand that the system must bebalanced, that is, if you have an excellent graphics card, but with a weak processor or a small amount of RAM, you do not have to run to the store behind a video card, most likely, you need to change either the processor or the memory. On the other hand, if you have a bad video card, do not expect that replacing the processor or memory, or even both, will solve your problem. As for the prices, the video card and processor cost about the same (for game computers the minimum price tag is 10-15 thousand), and the expansion of memory costs a little less, although here everything depends on how much you want to expand the memory.

Programmatically

If improving the graphics in the game is required, but moneyno, you can try to "pump" the video card programmatically - optimize the settings of the video card. For this, first of all, you need to get into the settings of the video card:

1. Right-click on the desktop.
2. In the drop-down menu, select "Properties", then "Settings".
3. Now click the "Advanced" button and select the tab with the name of your card.

This path is relevant for Windows XP. For Windows 7, everything is easier - right-click on the desktop and in the drop-down menu select "Control Panel XXX", where XXX is the name of your video card.

Before you will appear the video card setup panel, there will be a lot of parameters, but do not be scared - we will work with a very small part of them.

Filtering and anti-aliasing

The most popular video cards today are NVIDIA, so let's analyze the settings for the example of video cards of this company. However, the settings of other video cards will differ little.

From the numerous settings you need to select "3D settings management", only with this section we will work. We are interested in three items of the section:

• Anisotropic filtration;
• Vertical sync pulse;
• Smoothing-parameters.

The first and last settings can take the values ​​- 2х, 4х, 8х, 16х, 32х, and the more this value, the smoother and more pleasant the picture will get the user.

The vertical sync pulse can be turned on, off, or can be controlled by the parameters of the 3D application. We want to improve the graphics as much as possible, and therefore choose the value - enable.

An important point! The "Anti-aliasing-parameters" setting may not be available in order to be able to set the desired value, set the "Smoothing-mode" parameter to "Increase application settings".

Will the processor and memory be pulled?

When you set the above parameters tomaximum and turn on the vertical sync pulse, you get the best quality picture that your video card can give, however, it is important to understand that the CPU and memory load will increase dramatically, and here it's time to remember the importance of a balanced system - is your processor good enough your video card and will you have enough memory.
