Hi I have been away from the game fo a time and have up graded my graphic card with a pair of sapphire HD 5770 here are my specs

But the graphics look like crap with my new cards 1920x1080x32 on my old card they looked great which was a old Geforce 7800
I have updated all the drivers and did a clean install of BOB II with just 2.11patch have I missed installing something your help would be great

Hello!

Sorry you've got problems... don't use these cards myself (Nvidia man myself), but fingers crossed someone else may have experience with them. In the meantime, can you upload some screen shots to show us how bad the graphics are, and also a full run down of the various graphic settings you're using within the BoBII game menu (don't skip anything!)?
Also, just confirm you're running v2.11, but what about the multi-skin patch - you got that installed?

It may just help us pin down the cause...

Cheers!
Rob

Welcome back to BOBII. Looks like you have a good gaming OC for BOBII.

Are you running a wide screen monitor? If you are, please look and try this first, at this link:

BoBII needs to have DirectX 9.0c. You should DL and use the latest DirectX 9.0c version.

I have a similar computer as you with a Radeon 5700 series dual card GFX.
BoBII looks OK to me with the Radeon, but it looked better when I was using an NVIDIA GFX.

As Stickman said you will need the latest Directx 9C. Just use the Web installer and it will only update if you need it.

Here is the Linl:

You will aslo need the Windows 7 fix. Just read Note #6 (you might want to read all the release notes) at the following link:
