Lightsaber glow blocky?

I'm not sure whether this is a bug or a side efect, but I've tried this on all AA/AnIso settings, and it seems to keep happening if I've got the framebuffer effects set to on.

 

When I ignite a lightsaber (anybodys,) the glow that surrounds it looks blocky and polygon-like, with radiating lines where the blocks meet (sort oflike a starburst effect.) This, I would assume, happens with all sabres, but the effect is most noticeable with the silver, cyan and viridian blades (ie. the lightest, whitest ones.)

 

Is this a graphics glitch? A graphics side efect? Or could it be my gamma/monitor settings?

got to the NVIDIA display options and into "Performance & Quality Settings" then click on "image settings" and change that to at-least "Quality"

 

anything below that will mess up the lightsabers. :(

No specific setting for "image settings" but there's one option I've swapped from "quality" to "high quality." I'll try that and see what happens.

Hmm... I remember having something like this in KotOR 1. When I went do Dantooine, the lightsaber would get all blocky and also on Manaan and Korriban, the footlockers came in 3 different varietes : green, yellow and red. I only had these problems when using Windows 2000 on my FX 5200. When I installed Windows XP PRO w/ SP2, I didn't have the problem anymore. Forgive me if I've twiddled on but that's just my 2 cents
