Howdy,
Hope this is the right place for this but recently upgraded my machine and hoping to play some old faves.
Relevant stuff:
PCXS 1.4.0
Win 10 Home 8GB RAM
GeForce GTX 1060 3GB
Core i5-7500 3.4GHz Quad-Core Processor (Kaby Lake)
PRIME Z270-A ATX LGA1151 Motherboard
Monitor - Dell S2716DG
I've read through the configuration guide but became pretty confused as the instructions for graphics settings seemed to refer to an older version.
The drop down box lets me choose between SSE4, AVX and AVX2. Which one should I use? Some of the YouTube videos I've found show it playing
at 1080p 60FPS and looking fabulous but it looks awful when I try those settings. And what do they mean by Native resolution? Is that the one my
computer is set at or the one the game was made at? Do some settings need to be made in NVidia control panel for that specific application or game?
I've also read and understand a little about .pnatch file hacks but not how/when to use them. I'm completely lost with so many possibilities... not a
complaint btw I understand why it needs be so deep and complex but I definitely feel like a pig in the wilderness here. I've pretty much been trying
different settings every which way. Any help would be appreciated.
