[SOLVED] 8800 Ultra MSI

GodfreyVG · 10-14-2007, 05:23 AM

I have a troubling problem, I just bought the Ultra for 8800, installed a game to test it and got a bit disappointed. The textures were very poor (pic below), I have downloaded the latest nvidia drivers and also msi driver too but still the same. I also put the nvidia config to full antialiasing, bilinear etc, still the same texture problem. I also put everything to maximum in the game.

I later tried another game, a new one, madden 08 and still the same poor texture. what can I do to make this work? HELP!

In the pic below, you will see the plane texture very dull and some white lines on it, they actually flicker.

I have tried checking many forums today, and no problem came up as close as mine.

my specs are : athlon dual core 64 6000+
RAM 3gb
Xp
ultra 8800

Have you tried reseating the card? Taking it out for 1 minute then putting it in nice and firmly.

I put the ingame configue on full shadows, and there is a bug with nvidia cards with full shadow.
