World in Conflict...

[SuB]

Ok went out n bought the collectors edition (simply because i spotted it first and hmv aren't all bad)

anyway played the tutorial, started the single player campaign and omg..

its glitching and artifacting all over the damn place?!

it comes and goes but its that triangles into infinity spazzing out all over the place crap it seems fine at first, but then goes crazy, then calms down then does it again then will just freeze up completely...

whats going on!? i've seen this before when i had a cheap psu back in the 9800 days and learned my lesson, but my psu shouldn't be a problem (580w tagan 2force) and heat isn't an issue as its topping around 72 which is well within spec of the 8800...

i've updated to the latest driver nvidia have to offer but still no luck even tried downing the resolution (even though it was handling it fairly well at the resolution it was at) it doesn't seem to be performance issue as it still running smooth, just covered in triangles

any help/suggestions chaps?

i'm guessing the choices are waterblock for the gfx card, (or rma) or a new psu? but its odd as it doesn't do it in anything else? etqw runs beautifully *sigh*

any more info needed gimme a shout

Aye sounds like overheating, what temp was she running?

Try running RTHDRIBL and Rivatuner to monitor temps and see how it goes

[SuB]

ah ok cool

i just tried the multiplayer against some AI and it ran perfectly no graphical glitches, it did crash but i was playing for a while before that happened god damn this game is beautiful lol

I might get it I love COH and this seems akin to that... Bioshock is gorgeous. I think I might get Vista just to see it in dx10

So you'd recommend it?

P.S I would have linked you to rthdfdfgdhhhdjs but my work blocked it

[SuB]

still glitching but i think its temperature related so i think its waterblock time...

if you have ever played ground control or ground control 2... you will absolutely LOVE THIS GAME!!! its very very similar which is awesome massive graphics like being able to see what i'd call almost fps model detail in an rts its just stunning

[SuB]

still no luck.. i'm considering vista :S thats how bad i want to play it!! and dx10 will be awesome too... hmmm what dya think?

I read in a magazine that the DX10 version of World in Conflict looks exactly the same as DX9.

In fact they said that if it wasn't labeled differently they wouldn't notice the difference. :eh:

This game totally destroys my setup lol. Probably expected though...looking at the graphics
