Badger73 Posted December 5, 2015 Share Posted December 5, 2015 What's the nVidia video card setting that affects the appearance of flamethrower / flame-tank streaming flames?My video card control panel allows for the following video color settings adjustments. Brightness - 0 to 50% Contrast - 0 to 100% Gamma - 0.30 to 2.80 Digital vibrance - 1 to 100 Hue - 0 to 359I have an older nVidia GeForce gtx 650 Ti. My old monitor displayed flamethrowers as expected. I upgraded to a newer monitor and had to adjust to new settings. Now i can't get the flame stream to show yellow or yellow/orange. Best I get is purple or grey. Am using Aris' and Vein's "Effects" mods but didn't thing they affected Vehicle Pack flamethrower. Thank you. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeyD Posted December 5, 2015 Share Posted December 5, 2015 Wow, that's odd. I recall a few years ago when I bought a new TV/computer monitor (it does double-duty) I was aghast with the picture when I got it home. I then spent a LOT of time tinkering with the monitor's own display adjust controls (not the graphics card) 'til I finally got the thing displaying to spec. Scared the hell out of me initially, though. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A Canadian Cat Posted December 6, 2015 Share Posted December 6, 2015 Yeah monitors ship to bright and with extra saturation often. One thing you can do is buy a colour calibration system. You can get one for under $100 these days. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rocketman Posted December 6, 2015 Share Posted December 6, 2015 Calibration is usually worth the money, but don't buy the cheapest one. If you can afford like 150 USD it will probably be worth it. I saw a review of one the other day. I will look it up if you are interested. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A Canadian Cat Posted December 6, 2015 Share Posted December 6, 2015 I was advocating cheap for if you only want to calibrate for games. For photo editing I would defiantly advocate spending a bit more. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rocketman Posted December 6, 2015 Share Posted December 6, 2015 But don't you want your CM-games to look as good as possible too I know that it is more expensive, but a monitor that produces great color, contrast and a dynamic range is IMO worth it, considering the amout of time spent in front of a computer these days. The review I saw was for the Spyder5. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Badger73 Posted December 13, 2015 Author Share Posted December 13, 2015 (edited) For the Officer In Charge of the BFC "Lessons Learned" department.The correct challenges to initial post are:1) Are your video card drivers up to date? OR2) Did you update your video card drivers after installing the new monitor to insure your system component software aligns?Upon which the silly questioner will hearken to the exhortations of the wise and learned that one should always keep such drivers current.Subsequent to which, when the silly questioner actually updates his almost three year old nVidia drivers, he will find that the software does in fact work as designed, as said software was actually developed on more up-to-date drivers itself . . . .The spirit of Roseanne Roseannadanna lives on, my friends! Good luck and good gaming. Edited December 13, 2015 by Badger73 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
