Omega 4.1`s Under Splinter Cell ! White Sprites In The Garden ???? HMmm

ViRuS2k · Jan 26, 2004, 12:35 AM

can someone test this out for me please.

play splinter cell and on the 2nd mission you know the one where you have to listen to those 2 guys going up the elivator
or at the start of the mission you go down the side of a building on the rope....

well in that court yard i see little white sprites.. the funny thing is im not overclocking at all.
is this normal or is my card overheating... its been a age since i last played i cant remember.....

if you look about in the court yard you should see floating white sprites little white dots...

remember to use a 9800XT 256.

if you cant see em then im sending my card back for a replacement. ASAP so let me know thx.

also my card under default runs at 70c and overclocked it runs at 412mhz core 75c temp
also the name for my core mhz has changed to Gear 1 under no overdrive and gear 3 under overdrive wich seems weird in its own right hmmm

i need clerification if those white dots are normal..... they kinda float about where as i thought if it was a memory overheating those white dots would stay in the same place all the time .....

hmmmm

well this is weird !!! i just tested the card under defaults clocks in 3dmarks 2003 with fastest settings and no problems at all then i tested the card under overclocked settings and same again no problem at all. then i bump up the quality to max AA and AF and i get a problem in the pixel shaders 2.0 test only where the elephantsfeet only are flickering little sprites and this happens only on there feet hmm this is all crazy and may have nothing to do with splinter cell`s court yard white sprites but i just thought i would say or it may be all my emagination and those are normal those elephants are made up of nothing but sprites so maby there feet are ment to flicker little dots or what ever hmmmm

has this just starting happening with omegas set? or did you try ATIs 4.1 first ? we need to narrow it down first from a hardware/driver issue.

just tested splinter cell with offical 4.1`s and omega 4.1`s both the same.... im not shure if its normal or what but it looks weird and im shure its not ment to happen. i need someone with a 9800 XT to play splinter cell on the 2nd mission where at the start you have to clime down the side of a building and jump in a window well in the court yard the one with all the lazers on the floor if you look from the top of the building where you have to clime down you will see little white sprite type things there like floating about some vanish and reapear i realy need someone to test out there card to see if what i say is true.. if its not true then im gonna rma this card but i need to know quickly..... i just hope www.overclockers.co.uk do 2 month old rma`s or im screwed :/
