Strange Graphics Problem in Battlefield 1942

I have an MSI Nvidia Geforce 7900 GT that is steadily getting worse in that it is creating strange video effects and artifacts. The effects are dynamic and stay consistent with themselves until the game is closed and reopened alt-tab in and out of the game, at which time a different set of effects is apparently randomly created.

This Video was taking in Battlefield 1942, Interstate Mod, map: PROBLEMATIC.

Dont use beta drivers like the ones guru is releasing, they just screw your card!

[drbilderburger]

My philosophy is: If it aint broke, dont touch it.

Nah, I was using the drivers that came on the CD, problems gradually start occuring anyway. Its only when theres a problem that I do something, and it was a long time ago, but i dont recall using beta drivers, only released

After 10 months or so problem was intollerable, I RMA'd the card. Got a diff card, all is good :)

I say those MSI Nvidia Geforce 7900GT cards are junk, youll see many postings out there with the same prob with THAT card

[nomi86cool]

no i had the same problem but when i installed the drive my game works fine. you need to check that which window are you using you need to match the driver

[drbilderburger]

It's not matching anything now, its in newegg's dumpster and meanwhile they sent me a newer better card and i still had additional store credit spend from that return :)

All in all, a great deal.

most graphics cards issues are because the fan on the card is running at 25% instead of 100%. Use Rivatuner to increase the fan speed to 100% and you will most likely see all this stuff disappear.

Underclock your GPU using ATITOOL (works for ATI and nVidia cards

[BrainSeepsOut]

Well you have modded the game so it might just be a game glitch.

card is overclocked or it dies....

alt-tab can screw up the graphics like this...
