hi,

I find this hard to explain, but when playin games, it seems mostly in half life, cc:s, dod, when i move or look left to right the image becomes messed up, i try to take screen shots but it never shows up in them.

I have edited a screen shot of ccs using paint to try and show what happens, its like strips of the image are out of time with other strips, and only effect objects close to the player. when u stop moving the image is fine, but when u move it becomes distroted in this way.

please look at the door frame on the right in the pic, the stripe effect is over all object close to the player., but not ones far away.

also, when moving windows around in XP they flicker and jump like in the game but not as bad





please does anyone know what this is? and how to fix it?, it really pisses me off, my system is as follows:

amd 3000+ 64,
powercolor x800 pro,
1 gig ram,
an K8T Neo-FIS2R MB
SATA 160 gig hhd

i get about 50 fps in ccs, which i also thinks bad, i have tried this set up with my old nvida mx 400 and the problem is fixed, so it must be somthing to do with the x800 card

it looks so ugly, the picture doesnt show its true badness in game but u get the idea

please help,
thank you

I have tha same flickering stuff, in doom3 I did not go into solving the problem yet but I think the problem comes form the refersh rate of your secreen being to high or to low. Try seting it to default and let me know, I will do the same on my side.

I trust you have the latest drivers installed. So I suggest your enable your vertical sync in your advanced options.

Also if you have installed various drivers, that may be causing your problem as well. You have newer drivers clashing with older drivers. Your screenshot actually suggests that might be the case.

You may want to try drivercleaner from driver heaven http://www.driverheaven.net/cleaner/

After un-installing your ATI drivers, boot in safe mode, run driver cleaner. Clean the drivers first, then go to tools>cab cleaner and clean both .cabs you see options for.

Once you have done all three, reboot and install latest drivers.

Using DriverCleaner will clean your system of drivers as good as if you just reformated and installed a clean copy of windows.

This should fix your problems.

One more thing, make sure you have directx 9.0b or 9.0c installed as well. I use 9.0c.

Stripes

just put your vertical sync ON , or if you cant do it ingame , force it with the standard/updated video software from nvidia/ati site

af and aa help. If its the source engine, I get that too, but its in the distance a bit. You can actually see the boarder between fuzzy (far away) and crisp (near). I always thought it was the source engine.
