New 6600gt Acts Like Its Broken

[9th_cow]

ok the card i have is a leadtek winfast a6600gt tdh 128mb card, and is brand new.

ive no idea what motherboard i have as its not mentioned anywhere, so i cant find out either

 

well i dont know whats going on here, my 9800 did this when it was broken, but then i couldnt even see the desktop or anything properly either, now with my 6600gt desktop is fine.

 

so why does il2 look like this

 

and every other game i own apart from Guild wars look like this

 

 

i tried raven shield/soldiers heroes of WWII/WE8 and Por evo 4, everquest 2. plinter cell chaos theory

they all are badly ruined with this card

 

il2FB works perfectly as does guild wars

 

i have now tried 4 drivers and whenever i check the temp its never higher than 47.

 

if it is broken then why does il2 work?

 

i hope someone has an idea

What drivers have you tried? I think some of the earlier ones had problems with the 6600GT ..

Try turning of V-sync, might work.

i have disabled v sync aswell as anii alaising.

the drivers i have right now are 67.03_win2kxp_international also tried 71.89_win2kxp_english, and the default drivers that came with the card on the install disk unfortunatly i didnt see the type theyre were.

 

someone just pointed out that these are all D3D games that wont run, opengl games still work 100%!

use Driver Cleaner and just get rid of all the nVidia Display drivers and ATi Display drivers...

 

then install the latest nVidia drivers...

Give as much information about your pc as possible, ie make / model (I'm assuming you've bought a pre built), we'll attempt to ID your mobo (have a look on it for any markings), this may be a BIOS update issue.

Thats gay. Try a reformat and fresh installation of windows?

did just that...................same goddang thing

 

getting fed up now.

I've seen that artifacting caused by two things: occasionally by weird/buggy drivers, but mostly from the card overheating. Nice to see you pulling off Perfect Water in IL-2 though.

do you got a sis chipset??? they have a fix for that..It's in some beta drivers on 3dguru. I think the drivers were 67.03's Gravy would know for sure..You could PM him.

 

**edit-yes those are the ones. so give em a try.**

I had a simular problem with my 6600 gt. I uninstalled the drivers and installed the tweakru driver from guru 3d.com

uninstall DirectX and reinstall it!
