gordesky1 Posted August 14, 2005 Author Share Posted August 14, 2005 i think i got a pretty good one here:) i tried the puisher its plays real fast with no artfects and i tried need for speed underground 2 and it played real fast with everything on anti too at 1280x1024:) but when i was playing longer i started too see little black things not many tho and a fainted checkerboard that you cant see till you look harder. but too me it looks like its overheating like my first card whould do with the stock cooler. im gona try other games and see if it gives any problems. but so far it good. its much better than the last rma it was showing color dots everywere even on the desktop and you couldint even see playing games.

zhamm Posted August 14, 2005 Share Posted August 14, 2005 I get the same problem on AM3, are you using the softmodded drivers for you 9800se? I use them but my 4 other pipes are bad so I can only bench with them. Link to post Share on other sites
gordesky1 Posted August 14, 2005 Author Share Posted August 14, 2005 ya im useing the 5.7 softmod drivers. the ony problem im haveing with checkerboard is opengl. like in doom i ony see a faint checkerboard on the menu and i cant realy see it in game. will it hurt it too run like this? too me it looks like its overheating like my first one. than i put the artic cooling rev 3 on it and it went away. i might try it later with this car. i just wondering will it hurt it too run it like this? atitool doesint detected anything and RTHDRIBL tool is good too. and i dont see nothing wrong in aqa3.

zhamm Posted August 14, 2005 Share Posted August 14, 2005 Is that a Powercolor with red pcb? I have the powercolor 9800se with red pcb and L shaped memory layout, but no luck with perfect softmod, I get the checkerboard effect....I doubt it will hurt the card to run with those drivers, but I'm not 100% sure....try googling it and see if anyone else has asked that....

gordesky1 Posted August 14, 2005 Author Share Posted August 14, 2005 ok thanks. ya my card is a powercolor and red with l shape mem and black fan. and its a -c3 380core stock and 340mem stock and 256bit. the faint checkerboard doesint bother me becasue it cant be realy seen much its realy faint. if it doesint hurt it i just keep it. because i dont feel like rmaing it again and use my uncles 5200 again and i another reason i dont want too rma it is i might get a worse one and it seems too play doom 3 better than my first one. i got it on high 4x anti and 1024x768 and no laging very smooth.

gordesky1 Posted August 14, 2005 Author Share Posted August 14, 2005 i started up nfsu2 and touch the back of the card and i couldint keep my fingure on it for 5 too 10secs. i tried touching the heatsink that was hot too. whould that cause stuff like this? the faded checkerboard comes on ony in the headlights of the nfsu series and other game ony in lightes.

gordesky1 Posted August 15, 2005 Author Share Posted August 15, 2005 i just tried farcry it plays real good with everything on:) just one little problem in the water i see them little checkerd squars not alot but some. too make them go away i put the water settings on low and it was all good. but i think all i need too do is disable the z buffer or something like that. or it could be geting hot. but befor i put on my artic cooler rev 3. i want too try the z buffer off first but i cant get rage3d working. its just showing blank??

gordesky1 Posted August 15, 2005 Author Share Posted August 15, 2005 i tried the acrtic cooler rev 3 on it. its still the same but it runs much cooler. the problem im having is its like a checker board or squars on the headlights in need for speed underground 1 and 2. and im ony seeing them on farcry on the water butwhen i turn the water on low its fine. it realy doesint bother me and the card plays fine. so will it be ok too run it like this? and should i keep the artic cooler rev 3 on it instead of the stock fan?
