Image quality low on high end pc??

[woutwolf]

Hi,

For 'Oblivion' and 'Heroes V' were two main reasons for me to buy a new pc. It has 2 gigabite of internal (RAM) memory, a high end videocard (forgot the numbers, not at home now, but it is an ATI radeon) and a fast processor (AMD 3000+).
Then, how come, that after installing Heroes V, the image quality is set to very low? And when I set it to very high, the game is slow indeed...
Anyone knows what I can do about this?

Doublecheck your version of DirectX, and update your video adapter driver.

I had the same experience. I have a very creditable gaming machine and after installation my settings were low. I just pumped the settings up and assumed that there was no auto detection or it was faulty.

make sure your view is top down rather than "across the ground", cause the low view does have performance issues

I have a decent PC (I need to upgrade my raedon 8500) but it's on very low graphics and I dare not set them higher for fear of feeling inferior haha.

Time to buy a new vid card. I'm running 2.6ghz and 1.2 gig mem.

I also have a laptop that's athon 3400+ mobile raedon 9700 pro w/ 1 gig mem (it was a $1600 gaming laptop) and it runs the game fine but i havent tried higher than low because i have a feeling it will disappoint me greatly.
