Put together my new system AMD 64 3500+, 1gig pc3200, ATI 9800 Pro. I played Doom for a few days and tweaked settings till it ran smoothly. Then one day as I was playing, the textures tore, or didnt seem to wrap objects correctly. I had alot of triangle shapes on the screen, which made the game virtually unplayable. Gave up. Played another day and no texture tearing, but game runs a bit choppy.

Loaded up Far Cry, but it would not load on Very High settings, so bumped it down to High Settings. Started playing the game and ran fine, until the action got going. Same thing happened. Textures tore, and I got these strange triangles that pointed wherever I looked. Is my video card shot? Or is somthing else contributing to this?

I get that with Far Cry I think I turned on aa, af, and made sure vsync was on then it went away. Never had the problem in doom3.
I think its really a driver problem with far cry.
