Sader issue

Well i bought a 6200OC with 256mb of Vram ( AGP ) and i overclocked it a bit and playd BF2 for awile and the overclocks were fine but...






I was wondering if it could be my BF2 install, The background at the menu does not show up at all

Here are my system specks

Operating System: =WinXP Professional 5.1 Service Pack 2 (Build #2600)=
Memory: 512mb

Display Info: =1280x1024 32bit 75Hz= ¤ Monitor: =Dell X-Flat LCD=

CPU Info: =1 CPU - AMD K7 Duron, 1.20 GHz, L1: 64KB L2: 64KB

Hard Disks: =Total/Free: 149.06/55.21GB ¤ Total/Free space on: C: 74.53/12.48GB ¤ D: 37.27/32.76GB ¤ E: 37.26/9.97GB=

Connection/Network Interfaces: =#1 (VIA PCI 10/100Mb Fast Ethernet Adapter - Packet Scheduler Miniport

and here are the settings im running at



even on low it does it and when its on full it does not work...
and before anyone says my settings are too high, it is worse on low

Re: Sader issue

the top images looked like driver issues at first, but that APC one is definitly artifacts. either 1. you need to downclock 2. you are screwed and need a new card. IMO you shouldnt have OCed the 6200 in the first place but w/e thats just my opinion, it looks like [if you werent artifacting, of course] those are pretty nice settings for that card.

Re: Sader issue

yeah it could be overheating issues....putting throught ur comp through all those high graphics...and waht do u mean by "its worse on low"

and i would recommend a reinstall of bf2....if ur missing ur menu video (unless u manually deleted it) something is wrong

Re: Sader issue

Do you get these errors when the card is set to the default speeds?

If not, then you have your card OC'd to much. Turn it down some.

The artifacts are from the overclocking. Reinstalling BF2 will not help that.

Re: Sader issue

I ran it at stock speeds (my video card is overclocked out of the box) then i underclocked it then i reinstalled it then SF would not install becuse disk two is corrupted..-_-
Then i tryed the demo and it does the same thing.

Re: Sader issue

try uninstalling your graphix card and reinstall it with the latest drivers from nvidia http://www.nvidia.com/object/winxp_2k_84.21.html and dont o/c, but if you need to keep it at a minimum

Re: Sader issue

Ok that worked for awile.... but it started back up again. When i turn map detail to low it goes away but my fps goes from 30 down to 2-4 on low =\

Re: Sader issue

turn off shadows on a card like that, youll be amazed on the performance boost. also put the textures on medium

and I agree with the above posts, dont overclock your card

Re: Sader issue

Yeah you shouldnt be ocing that card and running at those settings on this card, its most likely overheating thats causing the problems

Re: Sader issue

I would be supprised if you are getting anything above 15 FPS with those settings. I had the 6600GT and I ran my card on 1024x768 @75Hz, 100% view, everything medium or low exept dynamic light & dynamic shadows which were off. You should get a decent FPS while looking not too bad

Re: Sader issue

If the card is OC'ed out of the box it may be that you need better case ventilation to keep it cool enough if you don't want to reduce the card's speed. Assuming the card has a fan make sure it's moving. Maybe try running with the case open and a large fan blowing on it just to see if heat is the problem.

That's how I'm running right now :P Up to like 95-98(f) in my room :P

Re: Sader issue

my card max temp while playing bf2 or about 2 hours is 42c and idle it is 39c so thats not it

when i turn shadows off it goes away... think it has to do with 'ultrashadow II' going to try to RMA it and get another...

Re: Sader issue

Update:

GeForce 6200's ultrashadow on the NV44A cores is broken, so it uses a stencel buffer that is not there and makes ****ed up images like the above
