Graphics Settings Rec?

So I just recently got ME:A on the Origin Sale, but I've been having issues with getting an in-game appearance that I like but still being able to run the game. My laptop is a little older than most, about 3 or so years. I've attached a pic with my PC specs, hopefully someone who knows a little more about this could help? It would be lovely!

Also added a pic of my Sarah (Niamh) so you can see what I'm seeing. Would love to have some more detail on her?

    @draqonin AMD GPUs are quite slow at rendering the tessellation in this game and there's no quality setting for that in the game's options, so be sure to tweak that in your Radeon settings. I override with 4 samples. This doubled my framerate.

  • These are quite useful insights, Thanks a Lot! I'll have to keep those in mind. :eahigh_file:

    Thanks so much for the heads up! I will have to look into that some more since i don't see Tesselation in the Radeon settings. All i could find is some info on the web that says :

    > Tesselation is active only if your VGA can handle this technology, if it can set it to “AMD Optimized“.<  :eahigh_file:

    Da.mn Thats so unfortunate to have the chip fried out 🤐

    The one thing i'm missing is the 3D view which is not available in the radeon i have. I used to play the first ME with 3D glasses on which was Soo cool. Can't do it for too long though, because of constant movement within the game-play.

    And yes, you're correct. Some games have issues regarding gameplay. One of them was Crysis 1 LOOOL ... isn't that weird.  At the last boss game was staggering and dropping down to 2-5fps. Had to play on low settings to finish game 😞
