Workaround for 9500->9700 softmod artifacts in lighting situation?

[Techie333]

I have been using the softmod Omega Drivers 9500-->9700 softmod for a while now. When I tried it out, it seemed to work fine without any artifacts in jedi knight 2, midnight club 2, and madden 03. After a while, I got to more advanced games and artifacts started showing up in advanced light reflection situations. For example, in Max Payne 2, anytime I go under a tube light or other light and it tries to simulate a reflection off of his coat, it just looks like a buch of colored in squares. Another example, in midnight club 2, I noticed that the only time these same patches show up is when the headlights are beamed onto a surface. Was barely noticeable. Anybody know how I can fix this or do a workaround?

that could just be a hardware prob....when u 9500--->9700 u activate the remaining 4 pipes, but on a 9500 theyre deactivated and as they wont be used it dont matter if theyre, faulty.

so u could have 4 perfect pipes and 4 with imperfections which is maybes why its not calcualting stuff right

dammit! And I thought I had gotten a softmoddable 9500! These artifacts still only show up in advanced lighting situations! One game that I have had absolutely 0 artifacts in: Jedi Knight 2. Oh well, it was good while it lasted, I guess I can always switch between the drivers. BTW, if anybody can still find some sort of workaround it would be good.

Long shot, but maybe you could try clocking your card down? I dunno, worth a try...
