The Witcher 2 graphic issues

http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_detailpage&v=mVPSdByDCy0 The video shows the problem. Happens randomly. My card is gainward gtx 560 TI using 310.90 driver. Other games run fine. What could be the problem?

Well, I'm no techie, but I do know that Witcher 2 needs at least 2 gig graphics memory to run at decent settings. I have Witcher 2 running on oc CPU 4.4 and MSI Radeon Hawk, 7870 also oc. It looks like your graphics card is not up to the task. At least, that is my opinion.

hmm...I'll try it with lower settings to see if it changes anything...but I dont think it is the problem since all new games on this rig including far cry 3, hitman absolution, sleeping dogs, dishonored etc run on ultra/max setings easily...also didnt set Witcher to ultra, it is on high right now

Hmm. That's bizarre. Try reinstalling/updating your drivers?

 

[nakkazza]

just tried on medium settings, happened again...

I'm using the latest driver as far as I know, maybe I'll try reinstall...but everything else works fine, its just this game

Yeah, try that, and also a few older versions of the driver.

To be honest, though, it looks to me like your card might be failing on you. You could try to lower the clock speed and then, maybe, the voltage and see what happens; If the problems stop, then it's definitely the card.

edit: but first you should probably check your card temperature

My thoughts as well. If you're OCing the card, stop. And monitor the temperature. Not sure what the Ti 560 should be running at, have to google for that. Might be worth it to remove the cooler and clean the die, and re-attach the cooler with some good thermal compound.

~75c should be a good temperature.

temps are fine, range is from 50-67 depending on which game I play(gtx 560 ti should run fine even over 80 deegrees), I havent done any overclocking and it is a new card, less then a month old. As is the whole configuration. Might be just drivers...at least I hope so :biggrin:
also been playing Dishonored yesterday for about 5 hours straight, no problem whatsoever...

RMA the card, it has problems. Also graphics settings in a game cannot "break" a card. If that happens the card was broken in the first place.

I might RMA it but this is the only case where it happens...Been playing a little bit of Far Cry 3 just now(on ultra) and everything was fine...I'm confused ...I think I will just uninstall The Witcher and problem solved for now :biggrin: if something like this happens again then RMA it is
