Use your GPU driver settings or the default Windows tool to rotate the desktop.
(Windows 7: right click on desktop -> "select screen resolution")
Then launch the TPA configuration utility, go to the "Display (DX11)" tab
and select a portrait resolution.
For example:
Back Buffer Width 1080
Back Buffer Height 1920

Thanks a million Biff. That did the trick.
The problem I was having, and I have not seen this mentioned anywhere, is that the program defaults the Back Buffer Width and height wrong when you select portrait.
I was always getting a stupid thin strip of video across the middle of my screen.
But after reversing what they have in those two settings it works great.
Thanks again as that was all I was missing.
Another question I have is, why do the tables with plungers use Enter to launch the ball and tables with an auto launch button use the spacebar?
When I put this in my cabinet, I do not have a spacebar programmed to launch balls. I'm sure there is reason for this, but why did they not just use one input to launch?

GTX670 and Maxed out settings, HOLY HELL does Monster Bash look GORGEOUS!
The DMD is pretty bright though...
10% Room Light and about 40% Bulb light for me is how I like to play it, been through about 20 tables and looks fantastic for the most part.
AFM looks better, but not quite seizure mode in Strobe Multiball yet.

no prob. you're welcome.
Just wanted to chime and and say that the speed issues I had with certain tables (Cirqus Voltaire, Whitewater, a few others) are all gone now. Everything is running and looking great! I love this new mode! I think it's a better preparation for the real thing since playing a machine on location is usually never in a well-lit locale.
Great job, Farsight!

You know what's really bad? Playing in a locale that's so well lit, you can't see the table thru the reflections on the glass.

Are you on Windows? osx_default sounds like you run a Mac with Mac OS. DX11 is a Windows only technology.

Hi Larry or anyone else using an ATI/AMD Radeon card (particularly the 7770 which is the one Larry and I are using),
What settings are you using in the AMD Catalyst Center and in the TPA DX11 Config tab to get the least amount of shimmering and pixelation?
I have been mainly using Addams Family as my comparison table. When I compare the DX9 to DX11, I am getting a little bit more shimmering and pixelation in DX11 over DX9 when there is camera/table movement. For example when the table is first selected, and there is the Camera Flyover, I see more shimmering on the horizontal rails in DX11, much more edge pixelation on the bar over the back ramp, and some more shimmering on the spider (or insect) near the pink box. Don't get me wrong- DX11 display is great in other ways, but I am trying to sharpen my picture. Here are the settings I am using at the moment:
For both DX11 and DX9, in AMD Catalyst Control Center I have all the Defaults selected other than: Anti-Aliasing Mode = Override applications settings; Anti-Aliasing = 12x, Filter=Edge Detect, Anti-Aliasing=Supersampling, Morpohological Filtering=Off (I'm not sure if On helps here or not).
For DX11, in TPA config Tab, I am currently using MSAA Samples = 4 (If I go to for example 8, everything slows down), MSAA Quality = 50 (I can go higher too, but I am not sure if helps or not), and Anisotropy=16
Thanks.

Mark, please try these standard settings in ccc:

Change your TPA settings to maximum (Samples = 8 / Quality = 100 / Anis.: 16)
and tell me what you think.

Hey Rhandos thx for reply mate. I'm running latest update of Windows 8.1. Yeah something strange going on. Will try again today after full shutdown. I want to try this badly!!
