MSI GF4 Ti4600 game image quality poor

I have installed a Geforce 4 ti4600 in my computer and have had nothing but headaches.  I have been benchmarking at 11,869 at 1024x768-32 no AA  on 3dmark 2001se.  The card began to work fine for a little while.  
I am now experiencing poor image quality in Battlefield 1942 and unreal 2003.  I get blue speckles and horizontal segmentation of images (looks like a sloppy GL graphics.) I have adjusted both core and mem clock settings on the card to reduce possble strains on the card.  What are the blue specks?  Is it possible my card is shot?

    Always the same old questions when things happend:
    1) What is your motherboard model? Updated to the latest BIOS? X(  Try to give more system info next time...
    2) What is your driver for GF4? Try latest version 30.30 from MSI... becarefully, you will have to download drivers saperately for XP and WindowsME...
    3) If you are a OCing your MOB, try to turn OC off first... as they are the cost of problem most of the time.
    4) OS version? Make sure you have the latest SP (Service Pack)
    5) DirectX 8.1 installed?
    Download~download~download~update~update~update!!

  • Image quality poor when using "fit in window" view

    Hello,
    i´m getting familiar with PS CS3 Demo and what buffles me is the poor quality of the downsized view of large images. I loaded a 8 MP JPEG image from a digital camera and it looks good in 100%, but when i choose to view the whole image to fit the window (33,33% in my case), the resulting "downsampled" image is very jaggy and pixelated. I use a freeware image viewer called Xnview that gives me a far superior view when viewing large images downsized - i can even choose to select a "HQ" mode so those images get resampled to look better. It it normal that PS does not offer such a thing (or did i not see it?) and delivers such poor visual quality or is there something wrong with my PC?
    Thanks for your help.

    Though 6.735, 12.5, 25 and 50% views usually are OK too. "Image quality" is great, though sometimes deceivingly so. I guess I don't understand sampling enough to tell you why 33% looks bad (rounding errors, I suppose). But 66% makes sense. You're trying to stuff 3 pixels into the space of 2.
    Dave, what are the advantages to these nearest neighbor views instead of bicubic (or even bi-linear). Just speed?

  • Please help! Elements 11 image quality poor compared to LR

    Hello, I just started using elements and am very irritated because the image quality is very poor compared to when i am viewing in LR.  Its not the conversion - i have tried pulling directly from the camear.  It looks great in Camera Raw 7.1 but the second i pull it into editor, it lines get jagged.  Adobe help is telling me this is normal.  Surely not??  Something about a halo around pixels?  Image on left is Elements 11, right is Lightroom and Zoomed in so you can see how sharp it is.  PLEASE help.  im so frustrated!

    In the pse 11 editor are you looking at the image at 100% view (actual pixels)?
    (Other viewing percents can be misleading in the pse 11 editor)
    Double click on the zoom tool in the tol box to get 100% view.
    Also you should be on camera raw 7.4 available from Help>Updates within the pse 11 editor.
    Is that lightroom 4.4?

  • Still image quality poor, Help

    I posted a similar question last night. This one is more of the same.
    Issue: Poor image quality (flickering, Jumping) when viewing stills on my TV only...
    I have made 2 test videos. One was made in FCE and one in iMovie8. Both are identical and consist of only 5 still pictures. I added motion to a couple of pics in each test. The video from iMovie looks great on my TV. The video fro FCE looks very poor. The image is jumpy and flickering.
    Why does the same movie movie look different depending on the source? What is different? Do I have something set up incorrectly in FCE?
    I tried applying the De-interlacing filter and the Flicker filter. I tried all variants of the De-interlace filter, ie odd/even. I have made several exports from FCE trying to get rid of the flicker/jumpy-ness to no avail.....Even the still pics that have no movement flicker a bit from FCE, for example, one of the pictures are of my son holding a dark green fishing rod while standing in a tent. The picture has no movement but the fishing rod and tent poles are flickering, almost like there are lights in them blinking on and off. A similar picture that has movement shows the fishing rod as alternating dark and light lines instead of just a dark green rod. The same pics from the iMovie clip look great. The color is correct and no flickering at all.
    To export from FCE I am using Quick Time Movie. From iMovie 8, I am using 'Export Movie' high quality. On each video I then just dropped them into iDVD and viewed on my TV.
    I am a new user to FCE and so far I like it much better than iMovie 6 or 8. I have a hard time believing that the still picture quality output form FCE is worse than iMovie. So I must be doing something wrong.
    Thank you in advanced for help,
    Toshiro

    Well I can only assume that there is a difference in the way the data is handled between the 2 apps. I have resolved my issue by not compressing the data while exporting. Unfortunately, my 3 minute video is 7G !!...oh well
    ...now if I could just get rid of the thin green line at the bottom of the screen during my opening segment it would be great....
    Thanks for taking the time to assist

  • DV7-3079wm webcam image quality poor

    I've had this laptop almost 2 yrs, but never used the webcam until recently.  My nephew wanted me to sign up for Sykpe.  Anyway even using the HP MediaSmart software, the webacm image is washed out and blurry.  I can take the laptop outsife on battery and try to take snap shots.

  • CP5 simulation image quality poor

    I am a very new CP5 user. I have successfully run the software simulation process with one problem. The image quality of the output file when previewing the project "bands" the images and distorts gradients. I am capturing images from Firefox on the web, using a MacBookPro with 4GB memory over a wireless internet connection.
    So far everything else is working great -- really need help figuring out this image quality because the result is not acceptable. Thanks!

    Hi there,
    Multi select all the slides
    In the Slides Property PI, Change the Slide Quality to - Optimized or High.
    Invoke the Publish dialog and Enable "Force Re-Publish" and hit publish

  • Slideshow image quality poor

    When I build slide shows and burn them to dvd, the image quality is really bad when viewed. Looks great while being built though. Sometimes need to do this for clients, so it needs to look great.
    I start with jpg images that are pretty big. Have tried various resolutions. Have plenty of room on my drive.
    Any advice appreciated as well as thoughts on 3rd party software.
    Thanks

  • MSI GF4 TI4600 8872

    I´ve buyed a MSI G4TI4600-VTD (MS-8872) as a bulk version by ebay.
    But the card doesn´t look like the picture on your homepage.
    It is red instead of green and has an other fan.
    The seller told me that this card is a newer revision 2.0 of the MS-8872.
    Is it right that a new revision exists with another color of the card or is he trieing to fool me?
    Thanks

    What does it show up as in Device manager?
    What does the fan look like? can you direct me to another model that has the same fan?
    PS I am consulting our crystal ball on this one.
    Crystal ball says:
    The bulk version (green, red or purple) is generally for SI (system integrator) or OEM
    The picture shown on website is for retail version
    What the user need to do is to take a look at the card if he can find the model number MS-8872
    If yes, then the card is correct

  • Okay, here is a GF4 Ti4600 problem for you

    My MSI Ti4600 problem has a problem blocking in games. It runs a little blocky in most games, but NFS Porsche is the worst.
    I had a LeadTek GF3 w/64 meg RAM in there before that ran great. I really don't know why I wanted to change it... The same games ran great on my GF3, and continue to run great on the same GF3 in my P3 750 machine. Here are my machine specs:
    P4 2.0 GHtz
    768 meg pc800 ram
    Western Digital 120 gig 7200 rpm w/8 meg cache
    Western Digital 40 gig 7200 rpm
    600 watt (yes, 600) power supply
    MSI GF4 Ti4600
    Intel D850EMV2 motherboard
    Aopen 12x DVD
    Samsung 40x12x40 cd-rw
    USB 2.0
    D-Link ethernet card
    Creative Labs Audigy Platinum EX
    Direct X 9
    Windows XP home on the 120 gig drive and Red Hat Linux 8.0 on the 40 gig drive.
    Also, the case, processor, chipset, hard drives and video card are all liquid cooled. The card is not overclocked and my video settings are set at 800x600. I had Direct X 8.1 in and it still did the same thing. My 3D Mark score is almost identical to the GF3 card at 11,700.
    So what gives? Is this video card as cheap as I think it is?

    Okay, problem solved!
    I went with the ATI Radeon 9700 Pro, which by the way, uses more power than the GeForce 4 Ti4600, and have not looked back since! Oh yeah, I am using the same power supply too

    Don't you realize it is more affordable for a company to make one sticker and list all their products like a chart, rather than print four different stickers? If you have a problem reading that sticker, then you have absolutely no business being inside a computer!
    Be careful about what you call a POS. My guess is that there are less than a dozen power supply manufacturers, as listed on the net. I can assure you that in manufacturing, one company will make the same product and put different names on it for other companies, distributors etc.....
    Now a question for deathstalker and wonkaboy:
    After about two days of searching the net, magazines, manufacturer's sites and speaking with techs in large and small computer stores, why did I find absolutely no articles or comments about Geforce 4's and power problems?  If they need as much power as YOU say, and most power supplies sold in computers are around the 300 watt flavor( and not all antec), then why are there no articles or complaints about it? Why do the manufacturer's not put XXX watts combined required on the box, in the readme or in the manual? Because it is nowhere near an issue you are making of it.
    Seriously, with thousands upon thousands of GeForce 4's sold, and nothing about power problems? Except here, of course.
    By the way, I did find one site ( Best Buy I think) that listed some power requirements, they averaged at 300 watt power supply, if it was even listed. Most 300, some 250 and only one 350. All with no combined power recommendation.
    If MSI has a need, it is heat sinks for the memory chips and a better gpu heat sink, but like your power supply idea, this is just an opinion.
    I should've learned from the MSI mobo I had briefly. It had a nice little habit of supplying power to the KVM switch and optical mouse when it was shut down. I, however, got absolutely no help on the old website with this problem.
    Now, after all that, I must thank the two of you for replying to this thread and trying to help me with this problem.
    Thank You!
    That is something I am sure you don't hear often on the net, or even in this message board :(

  • Firefox mage quality and resolution was superb when I used XP and Vista. Now that I have Windows 7, however (with the Firefox 3.6.3 version), the image quality and resolution is poor. Please help me!

    I am using the Firefox 3.6.3 version with my new Windows 7 operating system. When I used all the previous Firefox versions in my XP and Vista operating systems, image quality and resolution was excellent! However, now that I have upgraded to Windows 7 and Firefox 3.6.3, the image quality and resolution is poor (unacceptable for downloading purposes).
    == This happened ==
    Every time Firefox opened
    == I first activated my new computer and installed the Firefox 3.6.3.

    All my images are pixelated in firefox 3.6.3
    http://www.dcgdcreative.com
    Not only on my site but on most sites I view.
    The issue is not solved by resetting the zoom text view (ctrl+0)
    The issue is not resolved by starting in safemode with add-ons disabled
    The problem seems to only affect .jpeg files and only on Windows 7 on my desktop; as I have viewed several sites using windows XP with my laptop, no issues.
    I had the same issue with IE8 and was able to fix the problem with by setting up the compatibility view for all sites. Issue fixed no problems at all. But nothing similar for firefox?
    Whats the deal?

  • HT201335 Airplay Mirror Poor Image Quality on CBS app - help?

    Airplay mirror from iMac/iPad to HD TV w/Apple TV has a Poor Image Quality when watching network shows via for example the CBS.com site or the CBS app. The image looks dark, not HD at all. My internet speed/performance is obviously not the issue because Hulu, Netflix etc all come in great using Apple TV ~ sorry, not all that savvy in this department, is the poor picture down to it just being a mirror of the iMac or iPad or is there a setting or something I am missing?

    You should use the Acrobat extra menu in word 2010: then edit Preferences and choose Conversion settings : High quality print
    Hope it helps

  • Poor Image Quality when Printing PDF from Office 07 using Acrobat 9 Pro Ext

    Hi there,
    Hoping to figure out why my images (jpegs, gifs, pngs, etc) seem to print in very poor quality when printing from Powerpoint and Word 2007?
    When I actually print out the pdf onto paper, the images seem fine. The image quality is also good in Word and Excel
    I did not have this problem using Office 2003 products.
    Is this a common problem? I realize that the problem maybe Office related but any help or information appreciated.
    Thanks

    If the images' file format is PNG or TIFF you could play with the compression settings available in Acrobat's Preferences.
    Edit > Preferences > select the Category "Convert to PDF".
    In the"Converting To PDF" pane, select PNG or TIFF.
    Then, click on the Edit Settings" button.
    For either image format you could try one of the Lossless compression routines.
    Be well...

  • Has anyone had issues with poor image quality when using lightroom to process raw images from Canon 7dmk2

    Hi everyone..
    ..I have been having image quality issues when using Lightroom to process raw files from a 7d mk2... They are all soft with poor clarity.....tonight in despair I tried processing them  using  canon's software and they are totally different..."much better"
    anyone else had similar problems....Andy

    I have a 7D2 and have not had what I interpret as poor image quality that has anything to do with the camera.
    Can you post a screenshot of what you’re seeing and what specifically you don’t like?  Maybe there is something you can do differently or at least there may be an explanation for what you’re seeing.
    And if you have a raw image that you wouldn’t mind sharing in a public forum, upload to http://www.dropbox.com/ then post a public share link to it in a reply, here.
    In other words post a screenshot of what you see in LR, another of what you see using DPP, and a link to the raw file you’re processing.

  • Poor image quality using iMovie 8 or iDVD after importing DV file via FW

    Hello,
    i am a complete newby and asking for help. I have bought a Panasonic NV-GS320EG-S miniDV Camcorder. First i connected it via S-Video to my Pioneer Plasma which worked fine.
    I have connected the camcorder via Firewire to my iMac 20/2,4 GHz, camcorder will launch import window, streaming works but in iMovie the image quality is already rather poor. I can cut files and all but after using Import film and burning it with latest Toast, picture quality is even worse, that means colors are natural but no sharpness, lots of shivering lines as soon as the angle is moving.
    I've tried to import directly into iDVD with the direct transfer function for Firewire which works technically as well but the result is mainly the same, when i burn the DVD the picture quality gets far worse than via S-Video connection.
    Last thing i tried is importing to iMovie, importing for media browser and reopening file in iDVD which burns the DVD later, all that works technically fine, but the image result remains absolutely poor, my wife meant inacceptable...
    Any ideas what that could be??? I've always imported and exported the film with the largest picture mode possible...

    I am using the Panasonic HDC-SD5 camcorder which records in AVCHD.
    I also have a JVC miniDV camcorder.
    The following is available in iMovie 08 help:If the larger sizes are not available, the original project media isn’t large enough to render in that size. The largest media size used in the project determines the final movie sizes you can render.
    Tiny: Always 176 by 144 pixels.
    Mobile: Always 480 by 272 pixels.
    Medium: Varies in size from 640 by 480 pixels (standard aspect ratio) to 640 by 360 pixels (widescreen), depending on the size of the media in your project.
    Large: Always 960 by 540 pixels (widescreen). No large size is rendered if your original video isn’t high definition (HD).
