Hey guys....new to this forum. I've been having problems with my new AGP card, and this forum looked like i'd get some good replies. Thanks for all of your help in advance.
System:
Windows XP pro
gig of pc 3200 ram
Sounblaster live 5.1
AMD Athlon 64 2800+
raidmax gaming case ( 450w psu )
WD 80, WD 40 gb hdd's
BFG Geforce 6800GS
I recently bought this card from newegg and i installed it with the drivers on the cd it came with. After that i tried to play Battlefield 2 that i had recently installed with my old card, Geforce 4Ti4200 and it obviously didn't run with that. All was going well until the game actually loaded the map and i was in it, and their was artifacts all over the place, i could see through things, i couldn't see cars or people, or the ground, etc.
I thought maybe the drivers were bad....so i unistalled them, the 8.2.1.2 i believe? Anyhow, the drivers i have now are the 8.3.4.0 and everything is fine until i get into maps in games. It does the same thing.....horrible artifact stuff that's not supposed to be there. The things that i do see, however, are great in detail which to me shows that it can run the game.
So then, i tried to run Red Faction 2, which isn't that graphic-demanding compared to BF2. The game ran GREAT with my gf4ti4200 card, and now, i get the same thing as in BF2. Garbage all over the place and i don't see some things.
I'm not sure if i should RMA the card to newegg because it's faulty...or if it's a setting? I tried absolutely ALL modes in BF2 and none of them changed anything. Same with the settings for my OS, changing refresh rates, resolution, etc. Nothing.....
I'm extremely dissatisfied and discouraged as i just spent a good amount of money and i can't play any games... Help me please! I'm pretty sure i have the newest drivers available for the GS card.....
Thanks ALOT guys.
