Graphics card - Black/white Lines in every games !

Steelski · Jan 8, 2006

are you using 16-bit rendering. I use it in GTA SA and get some artifacts that fave black stripes in far away objects from certain angles. I dont see major problems with your pics. they look almost normal.

Well looks perfect !

Also, please everybody the image appears to be same irrespective of turning ON/OFF the AA and AF.

This only happens in certain parts and only in certain stages in any games.
For example: In BF2 its most noticable in the stage " Operation Clean Sweep only ", other stages appears to be pretty problem free.

In Half-life 2, the problem is most noticable in the first screen at the start-up, later its visible around the wired fences.

In GTA:SA, its most visible on Electric poles and wires above and also some buildings.

i am Attaching snaps from Half-life 2, these snaps are from the Insertion Point after starting an New Game:

um those thing sn the red boxes are called reflections. it looks fine to me, maybe a bit off, but nothing major. download ati tray tools and check if you have any filtering optomizations on or something. go to direct x settings and set everything to high/no optomizations.

I really dont think it looks that bad to be honest.

Fox5 · Jan 8, 2006

Umm, my games look exactly the same as yours. Looks like you need AA turned on, plus you may have some Cat AI filter optimizations turned on which slightly screw things up.

professor1942 · Jan 8, 2006

Yeah it is a bit ugly actually, like some ATI setting is screwing it up.

That's with 4xAA, 16xAS, at 1280x1024. The last two, I had supersampling on.

I think he is trying to tell us that now when he plays games online he gets the error message "The page cannot be displayed" :shocked:

RampantAndroid · Jan 10, 2006

Links are fixed...yeah, I play HL2 in firefox! You can find it in the extensions area for free!

Subwayeatbig · Jan 10, 2006

wait isnt that normal since... now the new 7800's have this thing called transparency aliasing or something liek that for fences and stuff.

Powermoloch · Jan 10, 2006

Lol this is a funny thread...."cough" aliasing..and anti aliasing will solve the problem. It's normal.

craige4u · Jan 10, 2006

Hey its definitely some ATI settings the cause of the problem,
I just Disabled Catalyst A.I. and I am getting less annoying things in BF2, but still in other games the problem continues.

Any guesses what ATI settings can be causing this?

As mentioned earlier too, I guess its sumthing related to deinterlacing option where the same kind of annoying things are visible.

RampantAndroid · Jan 10, 2006

Anyone actually read the thread? Look at my screenshots? Yeah, I'm on a 7800 GT (yes, I do have transparent AA enabled...in Supersampling)

I had 4xAA turned on, I get the white lines.

Munky · Jan 10, 2006

I tried it out on my card, and with even 6xAAA and 16xAF I still get those lines, but definitely less than wothout AA. Also, some of those lines look like the infamous shimmering to me, so there's no way to get rid of it completely.

TGS · Jan 10, 2006

I'm fairly certain even if you set AA/AF settings for nvidia cards, if you have application controlled checked the game will override the manual settings. I can't remember if there's a similiar settings for ati.

BrownTown · Jan 10, 2006

those pics look so much better than my computer that its not even funny. If you honestly can't deal with a little aliasing thing get a 7800GTX 512 and set the resolution and AA so high that you get rid of all the lines. Maybe you should try using lower shaders, that will get rid of some of the shimmering, and allow you to set AA even higher, but personally i would just tell you to live with it, its alot better looking than most people have.

Powermoloch · Jan 10, 2006

lol true that

I dunno about forcing AA/AF settings through the NV control panel, but you CAN force transparent AA.

craige4u · Jan 12, 2006

Well,

After all that discussion I guess me convinced that its pretty normal to have those lines during certain parts in an game !

Thx for all your responses and now I guess me ought to start saving for an New 512MB Graphics card ;-)
