8800GTX glitchy graphics

thulsu · 05-12-2007, 06:22 PM

I recently purchased an EVGA 8800gtx video card and installed FEAR and a Command and Conquer 3 demo. When I tried to play both, everything ran fine on max settings except for one thing: shadowy polygons seemed to flutter around, usually on characters and on the C&C3 demo on the whole screen. It kind of looks like a blinking, tearing, polygons. Its hard to explain, but when i tried to "print screen" it wasn't able to show the glitches. I thought maybe it might be the monitor, but I'm only running it on its native resolution of 1280x1024. Even when I set the graphics lower it does it. As of right now i only have 1 gig of ram, the other 1 gig stick was defective. If any one has any ideas what it might be or what might help, Id really appreciate it. Thanks.

Try different Forceware drivers.. On some 7 series this happens on driver version above 90
