Vista + Benchmarking Problems

PVTCaboose1337 · Aug 2, 2007, 05:01 PM

If you take a look (sorry could not get a screenie), this is how the screen looks when I start a benchmark in vista. I don't know why, maybe someone could tell me whats wrong. Here is my PS drawin. Basically, the screen looked like this during the benchmark and I got incredibly low results suck as a 5670 is 3dmark01. The tested benchies were 3dmark01 and aquamark3. The screen below comes in many different colors (incluiding green, red, blue, etc.)

Wahh!!! This now also happens in games! I have no idea what is going on.

Could your gfx card memory be dying?

PVTCaboose1337 · Aug 3, 2007, 12:04 AM

I seriously doubt that. This all worked perfectly on XP, and now on Vista it does not. I think its drivers personally...

AHA! I reinstalled the Nvidia drivers and DX9 and it worked!

It's the fact that it's no longer working in games that moves me towards gfx corruption. It's steadily getting worse. Do you have another PC you could test it on?

Have you tried using Driver Cleaner?
EDIT: OK cool to see it works now.

Ok actually it went back for some reason. I am so confused. It's like everytime I install 3dmark01 it goes crazy but... we will se.

OK, my next solution was to use driver cleaner... hope that helped... anyway installed the 101 drivers (from WAY back) instead of the new 164 out now. It worked (for now). Ty Truewill.
