[xando22]

im very very good at computers hardware or software no matter but i would like to hear what you guys think is the problem so a can compare it to what i think is the problem: the problem i have is that my ingame resolution is set to 1980 x 1020 60 hz witch is what my flatscreens navtive res say it is, its a 55 inch. but the problem is that my ui text and the mini map is useless yes expanded and zoomed in even the big map zoomed all the way down its hard to see anything , i have tried everything with setting ingame and in UserOptions.ini and amd readoen setting everything but nothing helps, my card is a amd readeon HD7860 overcloack model. i can only find 2 problems æeft that i can change that have anything to do with screen resolution. 1 the flatscreen is to big and the card cant wotk with it well or 2 its the adapter from a video port in the card to hdmi cable thats messing it up, it only has video port and a dvi in my card, . its a big problem for me because its hard even too keep up with a sqaud leaders orders, even just navigating on my own. what do you guys think it could be.

sorry for the long post :)

I'm gonna chalk it up to you playing on such a gigantic screen that PS2 can't handle it. I'd recommend buying something like an Asus VG248QE (really awesome gaming 144Hz monitor) and trying it out there. Also, If you have some spare cash around, I would suggest changing to an Nvidia GPU for Planetside 2, as Nvidia PhysX is still in PS2 even though you can't enable GPU Particles, the underlying engine of PhysX is still being used, so your performance with an AMD GPU is going to suffer greatly.

Physical screen size is independent of resolution. Unless some special scaling is happening then 1080p is 1080p. Objects will be physically larger on a 55" screen at 1080p versus a 24" screen at 1080p.

Does Planetside 2 do some sort of scaling based on the display and/or driver's reported DPI?

I've never tried using a 55" monitor but what Oogie says above is correct, the video card has no idea what size the screen is and is simply pumping out data for the specified resolution. Can you borrow a different monitor from someone and see if that changes anything? What is the problem with the text & mini-map? Is is too small, too blurry, or what?

[Oogieboogie]

Again, it's difficult to understand the issue you're having, but maybe you mean it is blurry? If so make sure the TV is set to "game mode" or "PC mode". How you do that is different for every type of TV.

i.e. my LG 55" is verry blurry around text, but if I set the input name label to "PC" it looks great.

everything is to damn small you cant tell what is what, im getting a pc monitor. an another gpu sometime in the future
