Weird Graphics Error
« on: January 05, 2008, 02:16:27 AM »
Just installed my new BFG 6200 OC and guess what happens? Paintball seems to be suffering from some serious graphical issues.

Not sure which games are OpenGL, but I seem to be able to run most games fine, and I have downloaded nVidia's newest drivers.

[Edit]
Problem Solved. Here's exactly what I did in case it might help someone else. (not sure which thing fixed it)

Removed and replaced RAM
Removed card and uninstalled video card drivers
Disabled integrated card
Re Installed Video Card and Drivers - now it works.

SmackWaters: Did you do all four of those things, and then it worked?  Or did you do one of them, then check and see if the game worked, and then it still didn't then you did another thing?  I'm not about to do all that just to get this game to work, maybe one or two of them.  I don't know how to disable my integrated card either.  And I already reinstalled my drivers, and my ram is brand new.

you can disable your intergrated video card in bios or in windows through
Control Panel>System>Hardware>Device Manager

My ram was brand new as well. Removing and replacing the ram sort of "clears it". As i said, i'm not really sure what fixed it, just that i did all of those things and now it works. However, I returned that card after buying a new motherboard, now i have a PNY GeForce 8400 GS.

PCI Express is 100000000000000000 times better than pci <- notice how i didn't capitalize pci for emphasis, it's that bad.
