But on full screen it is laggy but in windowed its fine? also it says default settings for fallout 3 and NV is low? why would skyrim be high and fallout be low?

Beside that what are your system specifications !!!!!

Do you play with any kind of mods ????

The default settings are based on a predefined list of various hardware components, nothing more. What it suggests should always be taken with a huge salt mine.

how to you find the specs?

Run -> dxdiag -> Save to file -> Open file -> Ctrl-A -> Ctrl-C -> Paste into spoiler tags.

Let's see your specs...

http://www.gamesas.com/topic/1122570-how-to-dxdiag/ gives instructions on how to post a Dxdiag. Post it on this thread, though, not on the linked one.

Your play on full HD and specifically on 1776 x 1000 right ???

If 1776 x 1000 is what your resolution is set to and if this is your monitor: http://store.vizio.com/va19lhdtv10t.html

Then you need to tone down the resolution. Your GPU has to work extra for absolutely no benefit.

That monitor has a native resolution of 1366 x 768

well i switch between them i usually use my http://shop.panasonic.com/shop/model/TC-L32C5 for gaming

Same thing applies. They both have the same native resolution.

I think he uses a external monitor...

You can't select 1920x1080 on a native 1366x768 screen...You know that.

Beside that he has an ati and those cards have native problems on external screens if you don't choose "PC Mode"

or you don't change the scaling options and set the over-scan future !!!!!

so that would make it run smoother if i use that resolution?

You can select it, it just won't have any benefits.


It is always best to use the native resolution. In your case, it is 1366 x 768. Make sure the computer itself is set on that and the game at or below that resolution.

ok thanks

Yeah, sorry you can choose 1920x1080i but not 1920x1080p.
