Battlefield 4 looks weird

[XCalinX]

Hey guys,
I've been facing this problem since I bought BF4 and it was never fixed. Basically the game looks really bad for a 2013 game and it looks much better on gameplay videos on youtube. I've tried pretty much everything I could. For a while I assumed it was something wromg with my GTX 650 Ti but today I upgraded to the new 980 Ti and, even though it can max it out easily, the problem still persists. This doenst happen in other battlefield games.
Specs:
FX 8350 @ 4.7GHz
Gigabyte 990FXA-UD5
8GB XMS 3 Ram
Samsung 250GB 850 Evo
1Tb external HDD
GTX 980 Ti Reference
Custom loop
Coolermaster V650 PSU

Thanks.

? Take a screen shot of your settings. Make sure you have it on native resolution and on ultra preset. Try to update drivers.

Can you give a rough description of what is visually wrong?

I recall when I first fired it up with a GTX580 that 3D mode was turned on by default, which is misleading, since it creates a blue/red shift. But the game has a blue/red shift in all of the load screens.

New issue since I installed a GTX980 is certain puddles and certain panes of glass being purple for no reason.

The settings are fine. I even reinstalled Windows 2 or 3 times. I don't know how to explain it, the textures look really bad and low resolution and the graphics feel outdated.

They have been updating the Frostbite Engine, but keep in mind you are playing a game made for multiple platforms. It isn't the cutting edge of graphics technology. (In fact a battlefield game that no one could run would be a bit of a flop)

If other games look good to you then it is a perception problem. Games don't have to look good to be fun, kind of something that seems to be lost on a lot of game developers lately.

People on youtube are probably running at higher resolutions, using AA and MSAA filters, and probably running a nicer monitor? Any of those differences can make a big difference. What is your monitor? are you capping the refresh rate?

Do a integrity check on from the Orgin UI. Its in my games -> right click on battlefield -> repair game. Also maybe check if your SSD settings in bios is correct. It seems as if you are having delayed texture loading.
