Flashing textures problem in Direct x & Open GL games.

Tuco · Jul 23, 2002, 08:31 AM

Win xp/ Ti-4200 64mb/Epox 8K7A+/sb Audigy

This is happening with all games i have tried( JK-Outcast, Morrowind, SOF-II demo, SBK2001 ) the card is not O/C at the moment(fresh install) i'm using Omega's latest 1080 drivers( started with 3030's then 29.42's ) all have the same problem. Textures keep flashing/disappearing etc... in SOF II trees disappear, i can see enemy soldiers through scenery ? in Morrowind textures flash on & off constantly, the hud looks like it being redrawn all the time but with bits missing ?

Before i re-installed Winxp i had none of these problems, i have no idea what's causing them either

anyone know whats wrong ?.

If there are a lot of textures, make sure the system BIOS AGP APERTURE is set to at least 128Mb, possibly 256 - lower values give very slow handling of large volumes of textures.

The card has stopped working, can't even get the monitor to come out of standby from a restart, have put my radeon back in.

Sounds like a case of the evil infinite loop syndrome perhaps

Wouldn't even boot with the card in, had no choice but to remove it.

RMA the card and get a replacement one - I had a problem with my first Geforce4 Ti4600 and had to RMA it but the new one is working sweet so far

(fingers crossed)
