Problems with new video card

**SuperBadAce** · 09-12-11, 05:06 PM

I bought a MSI R6950 Twin Frozer II 2gb. After installing the video card I tried it in BF2. Once the game loaded and I joined the server the screen had a bunch of flashing squares,circles etc. I could see the battlefield and the graphics were good execpt the flashing lights. I am running the same settings as the video card that was in it before. I tried different setting and still nothing.

My system:
MSI K9A2 Platinum motherboard
4g memory 1066
Windows XP
LG E2350V monitor
Antec 850 Quattro power supply

PS. I know Windows XP is old. That should be changing this weekend. New MB on order.

Uninstall the drivers and reinstall them. It is either a driver issue or a stability issue causing artifacting. Try the drivers first. Even pull the card out and re-seat it into the PCI-E slot. Sometimes that works. Worse case scenario, RMA it.

By the way, have you tried any other game?

I already reinstalled drivers. I don't play any other games. I was thinking about taking it back and getting a different one.

Uninstall drivers. Boot to safemode. Run driver sweeper. Then, install new drivers.

and test another game even if you don't plan to play it regularly because it could be a BF2 issue specifically with that card, want to make sure the newer hardware isn't borked from the get go just to be safe
