CIV V graphics glitches (9800 GTX)

Regularly getting these types of graphics glitches in CIV V, despite having above recommended system requirements. Another in the long list of issues with this game.

They seem to happen most often whenever there is a great general on the screen for whatever retarded reason...

who can recomment me a good video card for this game, off course must be cheap... thanks for help...

@dagvah not too much help, but most stable card I've played this on is the GTX 590 which is one of the most expensive cards available. Can't recommend any ATI cards though

I have problems loading this fukker up even. Screen just goes black. 9800 GT

@rtnash420 look at the troubleshooting sticky on the steam forums for help with this; utub won't let me post the direct link, but just click on the "forums" link by Civ V in your steam library. It's the first sticky, right at the top of the page.

get the evga gtx 460 1024 mb, not too expensive compared to high end cards and runs all my games on high and ultra, best card ive ever got

@evnejg I ended up getting a 470 superclocked. Biggest improvement to this game was a new i7 CPU though.

I had the same problem with a 5750 Xvapour card, Running the game at DX9 solved it. It doesnt look as good, but at least it runs without any problems.

I've been getting this exact same problem, also with a 9800GT. Not all the time, just most of the time.... (only does this in DX10/11 mode...) sometimes all the tile textures will be scrambled, and/or menu bars and tick boxes will have a scrambled background... but works fine in DX9 mode (except not as pretty). Don't think the card is overheating - happens as soon as the game loads and the heatsink on the GPU is still cool to touch.

@spaznorcrest yea i debated geting an amd proccesor or an i7, ended up on the amd cause of price and stuff, still works great though, next improvement im looking into is 3d gaming
