Snacko Posted February 6, 2009 Report Share Posted February 6, 2009 S!, Now that I built a new rig, I am just ironing out a few bugs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Knight Posted February 6, 2009 Report Share Posted February 6, 2009 Its OpenGL...it doesnt work with the later ATi Graphic cards, it only works on ati cards that are supported by the 8.6 drivers..there is a workaround depending on what version of your OS you have, let me know and ill get the workaround for you and see if it works.

1. DDz Quorum B16Enk Posted February 6, 2009 1. DDz Quorum Report Share Posted February 6, 2009 Which drivers are you using? With my ATI 4870 and the latest 9.1 cats Perfect works well, although I have noticed some anomalies (JP's screen shot of his downed 109 have what is best described as moving artefacts in the shadow areas). Mind you my card is a single card, are you using Crossfire? Does disabling Crossfire help? It is possible, as Knight said, to use the atiogx.dll from an early Catalyst driver pack, I have not found it to be successful with the 4870 though - it does work with 4850's which is odd.

Knight Posted February 6, 2009 Report Share Posted February 6, 2009 Whats more odd that the 9.1's still didnt work for me, but with my fix (the dll from a previous drivers) i too get some moving artifacts as you described, really upto date ATI cards dont work that well with IL2, but hopefully we can work something out.

Snacko Posted February 6, 2009 Author Report Share Posted February 6, 2009 S!, With the little testing in IL2 that I have done, it seems to work great on Excellent. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1. DDz Quorum B16Enk Posted February 6, 2009 1. DDz Quorum Report Share Posted February 6, 2009 My experience of drivers and the 4870 is that there is a minimum driver version that supports the card. Attempts to use earlier drivers (via the atiogxl.dll in the IL2 folder trick) resulted in IL2 being unplayable, even the menu was almost impossible to use. So I would venture that the Omega drivers will not work with your card. You can tell which drivers support your card by referring to the release notes with each driver, available on the ATI site. 2Gb RAM missing - so it does not show in post? If that is the case then a BIOS update may remedy this, are the sticks all the same make/speed? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snacko Posted February 6, 2009 Author Report Share Posted February 6, 2009 2Gb RAM missing - so it does not show in post? If that is the case then a BIOS update may remedy this, are the sticks all the same make/speed? Here is a post I made on the xtremesystems.org forums about this memory problem: First of all, let me say I am a total noob to all this new hardware and how to tweak it.

1. DDz Quorum B16Enk Posted February 6, 2009 1. DDz Quorum Report Share Posted February 6, 2009 Err. You have a 4870X2 card right? And that has 2Gb DDR3 memory, that is where your RAM has gone! This is the memory mapping limitation of 32Bit XP you are experiencing. When you get your XP64 you will see your RAM again Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snacko Posted February 6, 2009 Author Report Share Posted February 6, 2009 Yep, that card has 2gigs. I guess I am confused about the Bios vs the OS. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1. DDz Quorum B16Enk Posted February 6, 2009 1. DDz Quorum Report Share Posted February 6, 2009 OK I'm a little confused (for a change Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

1. DDz Quorum B16Enk Posted February 6, 2009 1. DDz Quorum Report Share Posted February 6, 2009 Scratching my head here now M8, this is pretty Kookie (sp?) stuff. Getting into realms of contacting Asus Tech Support I think, you have followed the steps outlined in the manual and put the sticks in the right slots. You probably already know this useful; resource: http://www.corsairmemory.com/configurator/product_results.aspx?id=763615 (Corsair's own memory selector for your mobo) Their forums are excellent too: http://www.houseofhelp.com/forums/forumdisplay.php?f=130 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gec Posted February 7, 2009 Report Share Posted February 7, 2009 did u try to put the memory in A1 and C1 slots? i have found on google a guy that have problem fitting 3x2GB on the motherboard. and that the max that he can get recognized by the board and that cpu-z is 4bg in the mentioned combination Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1. DDz Quorum B16Enk Posted February 7, 2009 1. DDz Quorum Report Share Posted February 7, 2009 Best 64Bit Firewall is Kaspersky (thanks Jabo) Comodo does a 64Bit version, but I found it randomly crippled comms with other systems on my network, YMMV. @ GEC I think part of the issue here is it is an i7 board that does triple channel, but Andrew is trying to get Dual Channel to work, I'm not particularly up to speed with Intel hardware.. But there is no harm in trying alternate slots. Straw grasping time...which chipset drivers did you installm8, the ones off your driver CD, the ASUS site or the ones from Intel Chipset Downloads? I would go for the latter. Yes the BIOS does not care what OS you are running (there is a Plug and Play OS option that hands interrupt assignment for attached devices over to the OS but this won't affect your memory issue IMO) - I think you are being asked for the OS because of the 32Bit memory limitation. You need to state your issue is: 1. RAM installed in slots A1 and B1 2. Post screen indicates 2040Mb installed 3. CPU-Z indicates 4096 installed 4. 64Bit OS indicates 1.99Gb installed 5. Make and model of mobo and BIOS version 6. Make and model of RAM Good luck m8, and let us know how you get on (obviously continue to post questions here ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

1. DDz Quorum B16Enk Posted February 7, 2009 1. DDz Quorum Report Share Posted February 7, 2009 Well the version of English that Asus wrote the manual in does tend to imply you can run dual channel with 2 sticks... However the selling point of this new architecture is the triple stick setup... houseofhelp, the corsair forum, may shed more light for you m8.

Snacko Posted February 7, 2009 Author Report Share Posted February 7, 2009 Well, I had other things I had to get done today, but after I got them finished, I came home and moved the memory to different slots. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1. DDz Quorum B16Enk Posted February 8, 2009 1. DDz Quorum Report Share Posted February 8, 2009 Great! Shame that your manual does say, in two distinct places, that you must use A1 and B1 for dual channel/two DIMMs, and that all other combinations are for Triple Channel. Got to love their Technical Author....or not! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snacko Posted March 16, 2009 Author Report Share Posted March 16, 2009 Well, I just thought I would post some resolutions to the topic and other problems that I posted in this thread... First, The Topic that started this all was graphic display problems starting with a black terrain. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1. DDz Quorum B16Enk Posted March 17, 2009 1. DDz Quorum Report Share Posted March 17, 2009 Those anomalies wouldn't be psychedelic lightning flashes every now and again would they? I get those, but only with IL2 on the 9.2 cats. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snacko Posted March 17, 2009 Author Report Share Posted March 17, 2009 Have not see that yet, but I just fixed this yesterday and have not flown much at all. What I noticed was tearing and stuttering when I was in the cockpit and I turned my head back and forth really fast. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Snacko Posted March 17, 2009 Author Report Share Posted March 17, 2009 I will give those settings a try Brando. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DD_Brando Posted March 17, 2009 Report Share Posted March 17, 2009 Give it a go anyway. Try it without the triple buffering if it messes up. I don't have your card or Cats (x1950 & 7.11 here) but this is how Ati deals with the tearing you described. B Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
