BFG 6800GT oc issue

TheAquaticApe · 02-10-05, 12:13 AM

This is a rather strange problem in CSS. For some reason in de_dust, on the underpass floor I get these wierd things when I use my flashlight.

The first w/o vsynce and the second w/ vsynce. The card is retail with the 66.93 Drivers. Any ideas on what it could be? Thanks for any help in advance.

System:
AMD 64 3200+
MSI K8T Neo Mobo
BFG 6800GT OC
1 gig DDR Ram

How much of an overclock? I would get wierd flashing triangles in Joint Ops
when I clocked my eVGA 6800GT any higher than 375/1000.

You might want to verify or validate your game "cache files".

Visit forums.steampowered.com/forums and search for validate cache files counter-strike source

Its not OC'ed by me, its the version that comes safely OCed actually.

I have a bfg 6800 gt oc at default bfg speeds. its 370/1000mhz instead of 350/1000mhz. I have no problems at all in joint ops or any other game i have. I also never ever oc any part in my pc. Thats why i got the bfg, oc'd right out of the box. However, i dont have half life 2 and dont intend on ever getting it so i cant comment on that.

It's either video drivers or the game files being slightly corrupted somewhere. That isn't the kind of thing that's caused by ocing too much. If you were getting flickery texture corruption (mem too high) or little white specks (gpu core too high), that would be from ocing.

TheAquaticApe · 02-14-05, 12:33 AM

Well I did submit a "bug" report. Don't know if that'll help. However I guess I can just wait for some new drivers and hope for the best :/ thanks anyways tho.

Get the latest drivers off www.nzone.com

I had the same problem as you, these drivers should clear it up.
