Waldo.Pepper Posted November 2, 2006 Report Share Posted November 2, 2006 This started happening today! Note the line through the gunsight! Note the blue triangles. ATI 9800pro. AGP (No PCI-E Slot.) Here's what did so far. Removed, reseated, cleaned. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1. DDz Quorum B16Enk Posted November 2, 2006 1. DDz Quorum Report Share Posted November 2, 2006 Did you completely remove the drivers, and run driver cleaner? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Waldo.Pepper Posted November 2, 2006 Author Report Share Posted November 2, 2006 Did you completely remove the drivers, and run driver cleaner? Indeed I did Roger. The only other thing I can think to try is to install the card on another computer and see if the problem migrates to that computer. I have a pretty strong suspicion that it will. So strong in fact that I don't think I shall bother. The temps are within normal range as well. I think it just plain broke. Seems that way anyway.

Shadow Posted November 2, 2006 Report Share Posted November 2, 2006 I had exactly the same artifacting Before running out for a new card, try changing your in-game settings. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
delta7 Posted November 2, 2006 Report Share Posted November 2, 2006 when you replaced the drivers did you make sure that the game resolution and you desktop was the same ? try running il2setup again Im with the guys above , I dont think its your card as when they go the artifacts are usually full screen psycadelic lozenges. I think its driver or setup issue. the newercats are designed for the newer cards try getting a hold of an older set and see if this makes a difference good luck Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BBloke Posted November 2, 2006 Report Share Posted November 2, 2006 I had an 9800XT which would show white spots/dots on perfect only. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Waldo.Pepper Posted November 2, 2006 Author Report Share Posted November 2, 2006 Thank you! (Shadow, Delta and BBLoke) You all pretty much called it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Waldo.Pepper Posted November 3, 2006 Author Report Share Posted November 3, 2006 A final note. No it didn't quite work out with the settings turned down. Stop errors etc. So I was doen for Thursday, and this morning I poped in a new video card. At least for the weekend I am running an ATI X1600 with 512 ram. So far it is great, but I have the option to switch to an Nvidia 3700gs by my supplier, which I may do. But so far all is well again at Chez Waldo. Thanks.
