Texture pop in/draw distance problem

[XibaD]

If you require the info, I always play in 1440x900 resolution, but I tried to lower it before and seems that there is no change I can observe, poping is seen the same way.

that looks completely normal to me.

Well, that seems normal yes... What I experiment is a lot more aggresive. I'll upload videos next week.

That was a bad example actually..

OK! so yeah... I have the EXACT same problem with that game. Literally now that i look at it, everything pops in COD. I just never noticed that before...

Even the one with the truck.

Try what happens in Crysis or in BC2 for example. Also check some STALKER game in DX10 if you can.

That's the most aggresive pop up that I could observe.

Just read about a guy that changed his 8800gt with a 5870 and started noticing the same thing i was talking about. He was complitely sure it wasn't happening with the 8800gt.
I agree that there is LOD thing and a draw distance to improve performance, but the thing that's happening it's not what it should be

sigh in all the examples give it's slower card looked normal faster card did not.
did it not occur to you that turning up the graphics level with a faster card is why you're noticing this?

since this is a performance saving feature if the graphics level are already medium or low with an older card, you won't see it as much, swithc to a faster card and turn up the details and there will be a difference. Simple fix is to return to the graphics menu and increase the lod/view distance.

tbh I've seen this in every rig I've had for years. it's the view distance setting in the game, longer distance means less of this. Shorter distance and you notice it.

i have mainly noticed this in 2 games One is GTA4 but seemed to do it more when the video ram was clocked higher.

The other is OFP\ARMA\ARMA2 which is were it's most annoying even more so if your a sniper.

Both games do it regardless how fast the memory is clocked on the v card how ever i did find it strange that it did it more with GTA4 unless it was a one of those things and started to do it.

And the video card and system is 100% stable to.

Yes, I thought the same about memory frecuency clocks... but now I'm not so sure. I thought that was memory heat problem (in stock frecuency) is about 70-75ºC with 32-35 system temperature...

But I have to confirm with others with similar VGA (Asus 4870 1Gb)

iam a owner of 2 8800gt and a 9600gt and i never experienced those issues with the same games

hi guys!
Have the same weird bug in my 9800gt 1gb in games like gta sa, gta4, COD4, COD6, Farcry2, Painkiller, etc., generically in most applications working with textures. It seems I digged out all the internet finding the problems like this, but there's no solution yet to fix that. This last as long as I've bought my videocard in december 2008, so I suppose there's no figuring out except the buying of new one or if my prior video still have a warranty how can I explain to service center that I'm right and video is defective? The case is video normally passes standard testing utilities like 3dMark, 3dMarkVantage, Furmark during at about 2 hours and ubfortunately draw distance problem is not detecting on its.

so far from your post i cant see anything wrong with your 9800gt either its drivers or something, whats the rest of your specs to help u out

there is no draw distance problem. this is normal behaviour in those games.


if anyone wants to prove otherwise, please - take a screenshot or video of your 'old' system that 'worked perfectly' and compare it to the new one and prove the difference.

If no one can do this in the next few days i'll end up locking this thread, cause its causing poeople to come here thinking they have a serious problem, when they just have NORMAL behaviour in these games.

 

[Bjorn_Of_Iceland]

But i have played the same games before and this wasn't happening, that is what is worrying me.

Would be better if you can show a screenshot of your before and after,,

 

[phanbuey]

yeah this is normal behavior... tbh i didnt even notice it until it was pointed out. Now i notice it all the friggin time.

I would also say that I never had these problems, but I think this is one of those things that you only notice when you play the game ALOT. Farcry 2 does this like crazy and I never noticed it either.
