Blocky Graphics on Laptop w/ NVidia

I'm having issues with STO on my laptop. The game graphics are very pixelated and blocky.



Image 1 Load Screen

Image 2 in-game footage


I realize image 2 probably isn't the best, but it shows that the menu windows are all clear, but the actual game graphics are seemingly set to Low, even through the sliders are both at max

I've updated DirectX 11, and my nVidia drivers.

Any ideas?

    Just a guess, but there's a video option slider in game that if it is set lower than default does exactly that. I think the command equivalent of it is "/renderscale 1" without quotes.

    Aaaaaand, fixed. Found the slider in the "Display" tab.

    You are a genius.

    Thank you!
