6800 and VIA chipset

dchunghk · Sep 17, 2005, 07:49 AM

I hear that nvidia card and via chipset just doesn't work in D3D environment: is that true?

Well I happen to have problems with OpenGL games such as Medal of Honor and Rainbow Six 3. The background of MoHAA and the whole screen of R6 have errors in them. There are white spaces (

- they move about like the white stuff on top of this emoticon) all over so much so that R6 is simply unplayable. In fact, I get a blank screen for the main menu unless I alt+tab a few times. MoHAA is a little better but when I look up the sky, it's just "scratched".

It's a...
BFG 6800 AGP (with all pipelines utilised)
XP SP2
78.01 Forceware
AA and AQ settings have been turned on and off (it looks worse when the features are pushed to the max vs. application-controlled)

Any help is appreciated!
