hi!
just got my new radeon 9800 pro by visiontek, installed it and got a problem.
i get bad image corruptions. it happends worst in 3dmark03. the card is perfectly ok when handeling 2D but in 3D it gets all messed up:
i ran 3dmark03 and its seemed at first (game 1 and 2) that every thing is abit slow but ok. than came game 2 (battle of proxycon) and the
image was very VERY corrupt.
during the entire test and till the end of the benchmark it seems that there are a lot of pixels that shouldnt suppose to be there. object has big transparent pixels
and sometimes the entire image is messed up. i moved on and the next test (goblin lair) and it was the same. in nature (test number 4) the computer locks the minute
it started.
my main computer is:
pentium 4 2.4
abit sr7-8x (sis 648)
DDR333 512MB
sound blaster live
adaptec 2940 SCSI
realtek 8139
CTX pr960F monitor
Antec 430W power supply.
here is what i tried:
1) before i installed the card i removed the detonator drivers i had. after getting these corrupt images i thought maybe the old detonator drivers messed
it up so i installed a fresh new windows xp and it was still the same.
2) my bios is already updated (version sr7cm). and i changed the settings that abit published. those settings were to disable "post write combine" but still no good.
3) i downloaded the latest drivers from ATI. the drivers in the CD (ver 1.1) were old so i installed catalyst 3.2 Version: 6.14.01.6307. and still no good.
4) i lowered the hardware accelaration a notch and marked "enable write combining" yet the problem persist.
5) i tried other software (splinter cell) and though it wasnt as bad as in 3dmark03, it was apparent in some places.
6) i thought about IRQ problem so i removed every PCI card (SCSI NIC and SB) but it was the same.
7) since i heard about motherboard problems i tried the card on my secondary computer:
pentium 3 800
Asus CUSL2-C (intel 815EP)
SDRAM PC133 512 MB
sound blaster live value
intel 10/100 NIC
mag 15" monitor
but still the same
tell me if i missed anything and if so what should i do...
