Wierd issue after new gpu

[KINGDarkyDizzle]

So I upgraded from a GTS250 to a GTX560Ti 448. I can now play the game fully maxed on ultra and get 50-60fps easy. However I now notice every now and then everything looks cartoony, for lack of a better word. Included a video and a screenshot. Any ideas?

The last picture looks like you are using the IRNV?

Yeah, looks like the IRNV, but it's got a strange black line art style going on like that a-ha video from the 80's "take on me." the video clip was too short for me to see what was really going on. Is it the same effect Dark?

I didn't see anything in the video

Install newest Beta Verde drivers and enable Clean Install option during driver installation so you can eliminate one of the possible causes of this issue.

Re: Wierd issue after new gpu

I installed the newest drivers just the other day. Clean as well, and yes the issue is everything is outlined in black and the colors look off. It looks very cartoony almost like COD type. I'll try and get a better video tonight.

Looks like shader problem so either it is driver itself or some setting that is messing things. Try if the same "effect" is present on all maps.

Some of the 560 Ti cards have a firmware upgrade that corrects some of these types of issues.

GTX560 Ti aren't out of the box compatible with the game, they need a firmware fix. Besides funny shaders, also crash and hang issues.

Re: Wierd issue after new gpu

are there any extra drivers I may need for the Asus 6970 Direct CUII? Because Im getting that "Crash after one round" glitch that I didn't get with my Standard 6870.

Re: Wierd issue after new gpu

I have no special issues with my Saphire 6970 running the latest drivers: http://sites.amd.com/us/game/downloa...n_win7-64.aspx
It has actually been very Battlefield-stable regardless of drivers.

Hm... Okay. Well mine is Factory OC'd iirc, but maybe I just hit bad luck otherwise...

Re: Wierd issue after new gpu

I have an early Gigabyte 560ti (the one with less cores) and get the same issue with the cartoony effect. Happens mostly on the carrier on Oman, when I look around I can see the effect but look back and it is fine again. I was also getting "display driver stopped responding" issues too which I haven't solved but were greatly improved by flashing the gpu bios. Bios update did not help the BF3 cartoon problems though.

The card does perform well but is a bit buggy at times.

Re: Wierd issue after new gpu

OK well at least I know i'm not the only one then lol. As I said for me it only happens on 1 map and I can deal with as there are no other issues. So I guess I will just leave it at that.
