Resolution Trainz 2009

[ieaster]

I have just installed Trainz 2009 and have an up to date Graphics card but it will only run smoothly on 1680 x 1050 and not 1920 x 1080 Can anybody tell me how to run this on the 1920 x 1080.
Thanks
Ivan

1650 by 1050 is 1,764,000 pixels 1920 by 1080 is 2,073,600 pixels. Assuming that you can get it to run on 1920 by 1080 then you need to upgrade your computer to handle the extra pixels. 1920 by 1080 is quite demanding by the way.

So 2.5 gigs of main memory min, tomshardware to check your graphics card on the list at the end of the monthly ratings, and check your cpu to see if there is a faster version available.

On the software side check you are running TS2009 in native mode, build a simple test layout and see what the frame rate is like. Some content is more demanding than others.

Thanks John I will look into those things you have mentioned. It will run on the 1920 x 1080 but not smoothly, by that I mean Jerky. My main memory is ok and I have 4GB Ram. The graphics card I have is a GeForce 8400GS 1024MB PCI Ex HDTV. Other specs 2 quad CPU Q8200@2.33GHz if this helps.
