New computer and texture quality STILL stuck at Medium

Hello GGG,

I got a new laptop with a AMD Radeon 6700M graphics card with 10-GB dedicated VRAM. It has 64-bit windows 10. In game, it is running off of the AMD Radeon Graphics (this selection is not changeable).

HOWEVER, my texture quality is stuck on medium!! It is really awful to look at. the first DOOM game had better graphics. I had an old PC with half this power and it ran POE with better graphics quality.

I've tried looking through all of the old posts, and it seems like my system has plenty of memory and more than enough power. And it's running 64-bit.

Here is my dxdiag pastebin: https://pastebin.com/pB90WD0C.

Please help!!

Did you check if the game is using your graphic card or the integrated one in your processor ?

This is a common problem with laptops

Yes, it is on Radeon grahpics. In fact, I can't even change it to the on-board grahpics.

since it's a laptop, you need to "optimize" the settings so you are sure it's set to max performens like powerplan and so on.

You will also need to check the AMD driver settings.

"Not a bug and working per game design of GGG --> GPU to small (VRAM) and that's why your textures are forced to medium."
