Nvidia fx 5900 ultra 256mb problems

[ShaunyR]

I've been having some problems with my games cs and bfv mainly. They are all blocky and choppy and skip around. I have messed around with all the settings in game and in the card properties and nothing seems to work. I have version 56.72 Forceware drivers straight from nvidias website. Whats wrong? How could i fix this?

What are your system specs? Its choppy at all resolutions?

How long have you had the FX 5900? Did you just get it?

thats about it u already know the video card.



Ive had the video card for about 3 weeks, its a refurbished one becase my first one overheated.

Yes its choppy at all resoultions, its all blocky like geometric shapes, and in the menu screeens the words jump up and down.

I'd say there is a prob with the card, and would send it back/ however, I would try a few diff drivers first.

Did this happen recently, or for as long as you've owned the card? Are games choppy and ugly as soon as you start playing, or after a few minutes? Is the air coming out of your power supply cool, warm, or hot?
