Oblivion Problems

[potato28]

Whenever I play Oblvion, I get all these black boxes on my screen. They randomly appear... what could be causing this? My x1900gt isnt OCed, and I use ATITrayTools instead of CCC.

If you play with Anti-Aliasing, then try leaving A-A at "Application Controlled" in Ati Tray Tools, and activate it via Oblivion's in-game options.

It might help. First time I read about such issue.

Black squares? Does it seem like there are textures missing? Did you use to use an Nvidia card before? Did you uninstall your old drivers before installing 6.9?

Ya I had a 6600gt... and I uninstalled all of my drivers. I got one of the new x1900gt's(theres 2 versions), and it seems that the memory is wonky at stock speeds. Or maybe ATITool OCed on me... WOW My memory was OCed to 660mhz, stock is 613. WOW!

I recommend you uninstall ATI, reboot into safe mode, use drivercleaner pro to wipe off anything with ATI or Nvidia in its name, then boot into regular Windows. Install Cats 6.9 and reboot. Don't use ATI Tool...you don't seem to have a good grasp on it (no offense )

Just use plain ol Catalyst Control Center and you should be fine.

You don't need to wipe out anything that has to do with nVidia in Driver Cleaner if you want to get rid of Catalyst traces. You might end up deleting Chipset drivers if the Motherboard has nForce Chipset. You really just need to select "ATI" in Driver Cleaner, and it'll be enough. I've done it plenty of times to know it works that way, and made mistakes as well to know you don't need to touch anything related to nVidia in such a context.

I've had a succession of weird problems with ATI tool since upgrading to Cat v6.6 ... try the latest version of ATI tray tool, Riva-tuner or standard CCC instead.
