Is this a known bug in the Radeon 7500?

In most all games, enabling texture compression results in a pixel flickering problem. (MOHAA, BF1942, NOLF) The only game I know of that it doesn't effect is RTCW. I've tried countless driver versions with no luck. The card is a Sapphire Radeon 7500 DDR.

Yup, I'd say that's a bug alright....

I'm not seeing that with my AIW 7500. Its in my other rig (FIC AZ11, duron 900, SB platinum 5.1..Cat 3.2 XP SP1 MMC 8.1 latest 4in1)
Texture compression enabled in MOHAA, looking/playing fine.

Maybe Sapphire overdid the RAM parts they've been using, in terms of clock frequency. Are you overclocking the card? Anyhow, try to step down a bit on the RAM clock, just to see.

Card has been running stock speed from the start. I will give that a try. What would cause it to ONLY happen w/ texture compression on certain games though?
