Hey all,
I know i havent updated my siggy yet, but thats because im soo eager to submit this post. Ive just put in my new ATI X1900XT 256Mb , after removing and un-installing everything to do with my 7900GT OC. Ive played FEAR-Combat, with maxed out settings and 4xAA/4xAF and it plays smooth as a babies bum (No soft Shadows tho). Even on Deadwood. (Res @ 1280*1024)
So then i moved onto BF2, and upped my both AF and AA to x4 settings (Again 1280*1024) and everything else was maxed out anyway. Having tried to play it, all i can say is im GOBSMACKED. The Game stutters all over the place, and if i try and ZOOM using any of the weapons i get a completely BLACK screen apart from the Flag positions and Map /compass in top RHS of screen. Its Bizarre and i have no idea how to fix it. My ping was 35 BTW.
It probably isnt anything to do with it, BUT..... Im having to run the card in the Second of the PCI-E slots (AS i did with my BFG 7900GT OC Card before it) because I has to replace my Chipset HSF as the original DFI one developed a VERY annoying whine. I still havent found one LOW profile enough to allow me to switch back to PCI-E No. 1 port and 16x again.
This problem is really anoying me, as FEAR which i believe is a more graphically intensive game runs fine, yet BF2 has issues !! Can anyone help? Im pretty certain this rules out any bandwidth issues i might be having with running at 8X PCI-E.......... although your comments are welcome :)
