I am bak - Artifacts appear as vertical Lines

**techboy** · 11-09-05, 08:37 PM

Hi

I went to Rashi Peripherals . Everything of my config was different except the cpu,mb,ram,graphic card.

Even when the graphic card was changed the problem persisted.

Used config:

PSU-Some uselss/local/whatever 350 watts or something psu

HD-40gb or something

Problem

Installed UT04.In a certain map on the edge of particular walls there were artifacts in the form of vertical lines that changed size on turning position.There were multiple lines laid horizonatally.

The person says that I should get a game with a bigger problem.

What should I do?

I have already tried many drivers?

My system is not even 6 months old and everything is in warranty?

I dont have UT2k4 right now..but posting a screenie of the game i am currently playing..chron of riddick

pls see the part i marked...those areas keep shimmering even when the view is static and there is no change in lighting...infact...even if the whole scene is static..

i see those things even in other games like D3 and UT2k4 and even in 3DM05 add AM3

i thought they were some driver optimisations :S

That is plain aliasing along with the crappy driver optimizations. Disable those by setting the options in the driver control panel to High Quality. This disables all those stupid optimizations.
