Flickering Texutres w/ my 6600GT

[SkiMaskWay]

Last night I downloaded the half life 2 demo to test out my new rig and the graphics seem to be having some problems. All of the textures are not filled in and flashing black and white. Here's my system.

3200+ winchester
DFI SLI-DR
leadtech PX6600GT
1GB TwinMos PC3200 RAM

Any Ideas?

What version of driver are you using? I've had good results with 66.93 and 71.84.

Is your PSU powerful enough? You probably need a 400W PSU with your setup. Does it happen in other games?

I have a Seasonic S12 500W power supply. I'm using whatever the latest driver from the nvidia website is. Are there some other drivers that I should be using? Also I've read about people enabling/disabling AA/AF, what does this do? Where do I enable this?

are you overclocking? if so, that would be called an artifact and you need to not overclock your card...

other then that, you may have gotten a bad card, though i doubt that would happen from leadtek.

I am able to run 3DMark05 with no problems.

Eh, every company, no matter how good, has some duds slip through the cracks. I will say, however, that my LeadTek 6600GT has been performing like a champ from day 1.

That said, if you're overclocking, don't, and see if that helps. Otherwise, try doing a fresh driver install (clear out the old install before doing the new one).
