Does this happen on any other game?
What game is this?

Run ATI tools too see if your graphics card is artifacting

What does your 12v read in your bios?

delciotto · 07-08-2009, 10:55 PM

its 12.01v~

Mcninjaguy · 07-08-2009, 11:36 PM

Ok that's good. The safe range of the 12v rail is +/- 5% (12.6v - 11.4v)

Try running ATI tools to see if your card has artifacts. If it does you will need a new graphics card.

i tryed running it but im kinda lost with it

Mcninjaguy · 07-09-2009, 12:06 AM

You just need to hit the button scan for artifacts and let it run for around 20mins or so. Sorry I didn't tell you earlier.

delciotto · 07-09-2009, 12:19 AM

ok on the default setting for the program it found one every few seconds but when i put it to the older scanning method it hasn't got one in the 20 min its been running

Mcninjaguy · 07-09-2009, 12:50 AM

The nwer scanning method is the one that will find stuff.

Lets double check with another program.

i started a scan and let it run for awhile, it didnt seem to do anything or tell me anything thats wrong

Mcninjaguy · 07-09-2009, 11:37 PM

Do yuo notice any weird textures while on the desktop?

delciotto · 07-10-2009, 03:14 PM

its only in games, but i phoned up the people that make my video card and found out that if i got a ati chip set MB, using a n-vidia card will cause bugs. I didn't know this because i never ran into that problem before.

Do you know any way i can make it a bit more compatible.

I have a ATI chipset motherboard using a Nvidia graphics card and I'm fine.

All you need to do is not have the chipset drivers installed which is just for the onboard graphics and disable the onboard in the bios.
